Tests your doctor may suggest

A neurological assessment relies heavily on your history and examination. Depending on the findings, your doctor may suggest blood tests such as vitamin B12 or thyroid tests, or imaging and other investigations.

What to expect at your first visit

Bring a photo ID, any previous prescriptions, reports and scans, and a list of the medicines and supplements you take. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you have had them and your medical and family history, examine you, and explain whether any tests are needed. Please confirm available services, timings and fees with the hospital before you visit.

It helps to note when symptoms happen, how long they last and what seems to trigger them. A short diary of headaches or episodes is useful.

When to seek urgent care

A sudden severe headache, a drooping face, weakness on one side, slurred speech, sudden loss of vision, a first seizure or loss of consciousness needs emergency medical care immediately.

FAQs

Neurology: common questions

Is every headache a sign of a serious problem?
No. Most headaches are not dangerous, but a sudden severe headache, or one with weakness, vision change or confusion, needs urgent care. Frequent headaches should be assessed.
What should I tell the doctor about migraine?
Describe how often the attacks happen, how long they last, what you notice before and during them, and what seems to trigger them. A diary helps.
Can vitamin deficiencies affect the nerves?
Low vitamin B12 is one possible cause of tingling and numbness. Your doctor can advise whether testing is appropriate.
What are the warning signs of a stroke?
A drooping face, weakness in an arm or leg, and slurred speech are common warning signs. If you notice them, seek emergency care immediately.
