Guide to seeing a neurologist

Choosing a neurologist in Karaj

For making informed decisions about neurological symptoms, when to seek care, and choosing a doctor.

Headaches, dizziness, numbness, seizures, tremor, and memory changes each require an appropriate medical history and evaluation. Sudden neurological symptoms should not be delayed for a routine appointment.

When should you take seeking care more seriously?

Some neurological signs require urgent action and should not wait for a routine appointment.

Sudden stroke symptoms — Treat facial drooping, sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, speech difficulty, sudden vision loss, or loss of balance as emergencies and call 115.
Seizure or reduced consciousness — If a seizure lasts a long time, recurs, the person does not return to their usual level of consciousness, or they are injured, call 115.
A sudden, unusual headache — A very severe or new headache, especially with weakness, confusion, speech problems, or vision changes, requires urgent evaluation.

Pathway for assessing common symptoms

These symptoms have different possible causes; specialist evaluation relies on the timing, pattern, and accompanying signs.

Headache and migraine — Recording the timing, severity, triggers, and accompanying symptoms can help evaluate recurring or changing headaches.
Dizziness and imbalance — The start time, type of spinning sensation, and whether it occurs with nausea, falls, or neurological symptoms are important for medical decision-making.
Numbness and tingling in the limbs — The affected area, whether symptoms are on one or both sides, and their relationship to weakness or pain are important for evaluating nerves and nerve pathways.
Tremor and changes in walking — Discuss whether symptoms began gradually or suddenly, their effect on daily activities, and whether they occur with slowed movement or falls during your visit.

Follow-up for memory and movement disorders

With gradual memory problems, tremor, or movement changes, family observations and records of changes can help clarify the evaluation and follow-up plan.

Changes in daily functioning — Write down examples of forgotten tasks, mistakes in routine activities, or needing more help.
Safety and falls — Record falls, changes in walking, or difficulty with balance, and make the environment safer to help prevent injury.
Family support — Having someone who knows the course of the symptoms present can help provide a more accurate history during the visit.

Preparing for your first visit

Organized information about symptoms and medical history makes discussion with the doctor more accurate and decision-making easier.

Symptom progression — Write down the start time, frequency, duration, and factors that worsen or relieve symptoms.
Medications and medical history — Bring a list of medications, allergies, previous illnesses, and relevant family history.
Previous records — Bring imaging results, test results, or previous reports if available.

Criteria for choosing a doctor in Karaj

Choose a doctor whose type of visit and area of practice fit your symptom, history, and follow-up needs.

Fit with the main concern — For headaches, seizures, memory problems, tremor, or peripheral nerve symptoms, review the doctor's area of practice.
Type of visit — Based on your needs, consider the availability and suitability of in-person visits or online consultations.
Access and follow-up — Before choosing, review appointment timing, location, insurance coverage, and the availability of follow-up visits.
Surgical referral — A neurologist usually begins the non-surgical evaluation and, if needed, determines the referral pathway to a surgeon.

Frequently asked questions about seeking care

Brief answers for choosing a safe and appropriate care pathway.

What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?

A neurologist focuses on the non-surgical evaluation and treatment of nervous system disorders; a neurosurgeon becomes involved when surgical treatment is needed.

Where should I start for dizziness or numbness?

If symptoms are sudden, severe, or accompanied by weakness, speech difficulty, or reduced consciousness, call 115; otherwise, arrange a specialist visit for evaluation.

Should we wait for memory problems or tremor?

Seek evaluation sooner for persistent or progressive changes, and bring specific examples of daily changes.
