It seems like you’re experiencing significant symptoms following a fall, with heaviness in your right leg and hand, brain discomfort, and excessive salivation. I would first need more details about your overall health history. Do you have any prior history of head injuries, infections, or other conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of neurological disorders? Additionally, how is your digestion, appetite, and sleep quality? Have you experienced any other changes like headaches, dizziness, or difficulty with speech or vision?
In Ayurveda, your symptoms might suggest a possible imbalance in the Vata dosha, particularly related to the nervous system. It could be due to a disturbance in the Sadhaka Pitta (mental clarity) or Vyana Vata (movement of energy). A holistic approach would focus on calming and nourishing treatments to restore balance. For temporary relief, herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shankhapushpi can be beneficial for nerve health and mental clarity. Additionally, Dashmoolam and Nirgundi can help alleviate heaviness in the body, while warm oil massage (Abhyanga) can promote circulation and balance. However, it’s crucial to undergo further diagnostic procedures like an EEG, and consult a neurologist to rule out any hidden issues, as Ayurveda can work best alongside conventional medical treatments.
Ah, sounds like you’re been through quite a bit, and I can only imagine how confusing and frustrating it must be. First off, glad to hear that serious conditions like a stroke or epilepsy got ruled out. But I get that your symptoms must feel really unsettling.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, the heaviness you’re experiencing could be a sign of vata and kapha imbalance. Vata governs movement and nerve impulses, while Kapha involves heaviness and retention like fluids and saliva. That mix can definitely cause sensations of heaviness or bloatedness, kind of like what you’re describing with your leg.
Saliva oozing out can suggest excess Kapha, or maybe there’s an imbalance affecting your digestive system or your body’s waste processing. Ayurveda could offer some guidance, but note that you should keep working alongside modern medicine too.
First, let’s think about diet changes. Try incorporating warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Ginger tea or herbal teas with cumin and coriander can stimulate digestion. Avoid dairy or heavy foods that could increase Kapha.
Next, routine is key. Cork in a bit of Abhyanga, a self-massage with warm sesame oil in mornings to help with circulation—focus on that right leg and hand. Post-massage, a warm shower can ease heaviness. Pranayama, like alternate nostril breathing, may keep Vata more balanced too—try for at least 10 deep breaths a day.
Stay sortta active. Gentle yoga poses focusing on grounding, balancing and stretching might help, especially things like Tree Pose or Warrior. Even some light walking, whatever you’re comfy with, could assist metabolic processes.
But, don’t skip over any serious symptoms with your medical doctors. Your health always comes first. If you’re having sudden or severe changes, like increased drooling or unusual heaviness, consult with them immediately. Keep track — maybe write symptoms as they come and go. That info might be just what a doc needs to find out what’s going on.
Ayurveda is here to support your journey. You got this! Stay well!
