Neurological Conditions Our Neurologist in Gandhidham Treats
Neurological Diagnostic Tools in Gandhidham
Clinical neurological examination remains the cornerstone of diagnosis. Our neurologist in Gandhidham performs detailed assessments of cranial nerves, motor and sensory function, coordination, and reflexes. Investigations include blood tests (B12, thyroid, glucose, inflammatory markers), ECG for cardiac causes of stroke, and coordinated referrals for EEG (electroencephalogram), nerve conduction study (NCS), MRI brain, and CT scan where clinically indicated.
Why See a Neurologist in Gandhidham at Swasthya Hospital?
Neurological symptoms are often misdiagnosed or managed with symptomatic treatment without identifying the underlying cause. Recurrent headaches, unexplained dizziness, and tingling in limbs all have specific neurological and non-neurological causes that require systematic evaluation. Our neurologist in Gandhidham provides this structured diagnostic approach. For patients who have had a stroke, access to cardiology (for AF detection via ECG) and nephrology (for blood pressure control) within the same clinic makes secondary prevention far more effective.
Warning Signs You Should See a Neurologist
Frequently Asked Questions
Can gastric gas cause chronic, severe headaches?
No, severe throbbing headaches with nausea are usually migraines, not gas. Don't rely on antacids. Consult a neurologist in gandhidham for proper clinical diagnosis and preventive treatments.
What if someone gets sudden weakness on one side?
Sudden paralysis or slurred speech is a Brain Stroke. "Time is Brain." Rush them to Swasthya Hospital within the 4.5-hour "Golden Hour" for life-saving clot-busting treatments.
Should I make someone smell an onion during a seizure?
No, this is a dangerous myth. Never put anything in their mouth. Roll them on their side to clear the airway and see a brain specialist in gandhidham for safe anti-seizure medication.
Why do my hands and feet tingle, burn, or feel numb?
Constant tingling isn't just weakness; it's often Diabetic Neuropathy or B12 deficiency. Dr. Devansh Khandol can identify the cause and treat nerve damage before it becomes permanent.
Is a spinning room sensation just low blood pressure?
While low BP causes lightheadedness, violent spinning (Vertigo) is an inner ear or cervical spine issue. Visit a neurologist in Gandhidham for an accurate diagnosis and relief maneuvers.
What causes sharp pain shooting down my leg?
This is Sciatica, caused by a pinched nerve in your lower spine. Ignoring it worsens the compression. Dr. Devansh Khandol provides expert medical management to safely relieve inflammation.
Is it normal for elders to start forgetting names?
Mild forgetfulness is normal, but severe memory loss or personality changes can be dementia. Early evaluation by a brain specialist in gandhidham helps slow the progression safely.
Can I just take daily painkillers for nerve pain?
Taking unprescribed painkillers daily causes medication-overuse headaches and kidney damage. Neurological pain requires safe, specific nerve-calming medicines to treat the root cause.
Will the doctor always ask for a costly MRI scan?
Not always. Many nerve issues and migraines are diagnosed clinically without scans. Advanced MRIs are only advised at Swasthya Hospital when there is a risk of stroke, tumor or any advanced neurological condition.
How can I protect my brain and prevent a stroke?
Control your BP, sugar, and cholesterol daily. Avoid tobacco and exercise. Routine vascular check-ups with a top neurologist in gandhidham will keep your blood vessels strong and healthy.

What causes tingling and numbness in the hands and feet?
Common causes include peripheral neuropathy (often from diabetes or B12 deficiency), carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, or less commonly central neurological causes. Specialist evaluation identifies the correct cause.
What is TIA and why is it an emergency?
A TIA (transient ischaemic attack) is a temporary stroke with full recovery. It is a medical emergency because 10-15% of TIA patients have a full stroke within 90 days. Immediate specialist evaluation significantly reduces this risk.
