Patient's question:
I had childhood tics from a very young age, which manifested as eye squinting, nose twitching, and throat sounds. Now I am 23 years old. When I was around 13 or 14, I experienced a sensation of shortness of breath, feeling like I couldn’t breathe properly, and often yawned. I searched online and found this could be a sign of brain hypoxia.At 17, when I was in school, I had episodes of excessive sleepiness and poor academic performance. I was asleep from morning to night, only being awake for three or four hours a day. My memory deteriorated severely. Just a few months ago, I couldn’t remember the names of colleagues I worked with. I’m very scared. I know about a condition called brain atrophy, but I don’t know if it affects me. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello!Tics are caused by organic brain lesions, mostly due to cerebral vessel stenosis or vascular obstruction (tumors). The traditional Chinese herbal medicine "Bu Yi Jian Nao Chong Ji" is quite effective and can cure it without recurrence.
