You may benefit from seeing a neurologist if you experience symptoms such as frequent or severe headaches, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, dizziness, balance problems, seizures, tremors, memory changes, or persistent nerve pain. Your primary care provider may also refer you for evaluation of neurological symptoms.
Recognizing the signs of a stroke and seeking emergency medical care immediately can save lives. Remember the acronym BE FAST:
Early treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
Neurologists use a variety of diagnostic tests to evaluate conditions affecting the brain, spine, nerves, and muscles. Depending on your symptoms, testing may include imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, electrodiagnostic testing like electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS), electroencephalograms (EEGs), laboratory testing, or other specialized evaluations. Your neurologist will recommend the tests that are most appropriate for your condition.
Sudden weakness, numbness, severe headaches, vision changes, dizziness, loss of balance, seizures, difficulty speaking, memory changes, or persistent nerve pain should be evaluated by a healthcare provider. If you experience signs of a stroke, call 911 immediately.
