Warning signs

When do we recommend seeing a neurologist?

Many people wait too long. Get checked if you have any of these signs.

Frequent or severe headaches that affect your life
Seizures or episodes of loss of consciousness
Progressive memory or language changes
Tingling, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs
Balance problems or frequent falls
A tremor in the hands, head or voice that wasn’t there before
Double vision or temporary vision loss
Trouble sleeping that affects your quality of life
Recurrent dizziness or vertigo
Personality changes with no apparent cause
Early detection changes the prognosis. Many neurological conditions respond better when diagnosed early.

+ Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about neurology in Medellín

What’s the difference between a neurologist and a neuropsychologist?

A neurologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats nervous system diseases with medications and procedures. A neuropsychologist evaluates cognitive functions affected by neurological diseases and designs rehabilitation strategies. They work in a complementary way.

Most people with well-controlled epilepsy live completely normal lives. With the right medication, more than 70% achieve complete seizure control.
Neuro+ currently sees private patients and patients with private health plans. For EPS patients, we provide guidance on the options available under their plan.
Not always. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) originates in the inner ear and resolves with repositioning maneuvers. However, sudden, intense vertigo accompanied by difficulty walking may indicate a cerebellar stroke and requires emergency care.
