(Recommendation) Headache, please visit a specialized hospital~... Introducing Dr. Lee Sang-heon, Neurology

It is said that over 90% of the entire population experience headaches.

Headaches are symptoms of a brain disorder caused by various factors.

Repeated headaches can be dangerous if left untreated.

I highly recommend going to a specialized hospital.

Fortunately, the diagnosis was 'migraine,' and after starting with minor tests last year and receiving treatment at a university hospital,

Apart from occasional short-term migraines lasting about 1 to 2 days, there are also long-lasting ones that occur throughout the month.

The headache has disappeared. Thinking about how big of a deal it was, even now, in spring 2023, I still have a dizzying moment.

 

 

 

 

At university hospitals, you can usually make an appointment about 3 to 6 months in advance after booking.

The headache that started last April, I had previously received treatment at a university hospital, so I called them.

They said I can only make an appointment in June.

My head feels like it's splitting, or the stabbing pain is so intense that I fall asleep crying.

After sleeping for 1 to 2 hours, the pain would come back, so I started looking for a neurology clinic nearby.

 

Neurosurgery is relatively more common like orthopedics, but finding a neurology department in private hospitals is quite common in Seoul.

It was hard to find the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.

 

Fortunately, it's a place that opened not long ago, and I was so pleased.

I made a reservation right at dinner time, left work early, and rushed to the hospital.

 

 

The tests I conducted include blood tests, X-rays, and other simple examinations.

They say this test is also done in the case of early dementia.

Peripheral nerves are branches of nerves extending from the central nervous system, and abnormalities such as compression or inflammation of the peripheral nerves can lead to...

These are symptoms expressed by patients such as "feeling electrical currents," "numbness," "coldness," "a tingling sensation like an electric shock," and "a prickling or tingling feeling."

I was experiencing a tingling sensation in my head, just a prickling feeling.

 

Head nerve conduction test

 

◆ We give relatively strong electrical stimulation to areas where peripheral nerves pass through in our body.

It is a test that analyzes the waveform observed after electrically stimulating the skin along the pathways of motor and sensory nerves to measure how quickly and accurately the peripheral nerves transmit electrical signals.

 

Cerebral blood flow ultrasound, infrared blood test

 

 

 

You can examine neuralgia, inflammatory diseases, and muscle pain that cannot be diagnosed through X-ray, MRI, or CT scans (radiation tests).

There is no radiation risk, and it is harmless to the human body, so pregnant women and infants can safely undergo the examination.

It has the advantage of objectively measuring pain.

Sanghyun Lee Neurology

Most of the symptoms we treat at our hospital, such as brain, nerve, blood vessel, and pain issues, often remain unresolved even after long-term treatment at other hospitals. These are symptoms that require specialized knowledge.

Patients who have undergone tests at other hospitals but have not found a clear diagnosis, or those who wish to see a doctor with specialized neurological knowledge, tend to trust this place more because it is where neurology specialists provide care.
