Conditions
A neurologist examines and treats diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. This section brings together information about the neurological conditions most frequently seen in Dr. Elvin Niftaliyev’s practice: each page explains what the condition is, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment approaches and the situations that require emergency help.
Complaints such as headache, dizziness, numbness in the hands or feet, tremor, seizures, memory weakness or difficulty moving can be signs of various conditions, and an accurate diagnosis can only be made after a medical examination. If one side of the face droops, there is sudden weakness in an arm or leg, speech is impaired, you have the most severe sudden headache of your life, or a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 103 without waiting.
The information on these pages is for educational purposes and does not replace a medical examination.
