Ep 179 – Paraesthesia
Paraesthesia is an indication of an abnormality that impacts the sensory pathways at any point from the peripheral sensory nervous system right up to the sensory cortex. The essential tool for the diagnosis of this condition is obtaining a concise patient history. This history must accurately reflect the patient's experience, including the provoking and alleviating factors, along with any existing concurrent conditions, such as diabetes and all treatments that might potentially lead to neuropathies. Treatment is based on the relevant diagnosis and mechanism to address the cause. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson discusses paraesthesia, covering its causes, investigations and treatment.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/neurology/ep-179-paraesthesia.Did you know?

Ep 178 – Tremor
A tremor is defined as an involuntary rhythmic oscillation of one or more body parts, mediated by alternating contractions of reciprocally acting muscles. Tremors typically affect the upper extremities but can also affect the head, chin, voice or legs. Although some tremors may be mild and cause little impact to quality of life, requiring no treatment, others may impair activities of daily living or occupation, which may lead to embarrassment and social withdrawal. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of the different types of tremor, looking at ways of distinguishing them and how each is usually managed.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/neurology/ep-178-tremor.Did you know?

Ep 177 – Postnasal drip
Postnasal drip is a condition where excess mucus from the nose and sinuses accumulates and flows down the back of the throat. This can lead to symptoms such as throat clearing, coughing, a scratchy or sore throat, hoarseness and bad breath. Common causes include allergies, colds, sinus infections, weather changes, acid reflux and irritants such as smoke. Treatment typically involves managing the underlying cause through medications such as antihistamines, decongestants and nasal sprays, as well as maintaining proper hydration. If symptoms persist for more than 10 days or are accompanied by fever or discoloured mucus, medical evaluation is recommended to rule out infections or other issues. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson provides an overview of these areas to help us easily diagnose this common problem in our surgeries.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/ear-nose-and-throat/ep-177-postnasal-drip.Did you know?
