Neurologists in Pune
1 neurologist at Meridian Health, across 4 centres in Pune. Headache, stroke, epilepsy, giddiness and nerve problems.
What neurologists treat
Neurology deals with the brain, spinal cord and nerves. A neurologist investigates headaches and migraine, fits (seizures), giddiness, numbness and weakness, memory changes and tremor, and manages long-term conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Neurologists treat with medicines and rehabilitation; when an operation is needed, they work with a neurosurgeon.
Sudden face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech may be a stroke — call your emergency number immediately; treatment is time-critical. The same applies to the worst headache of your life, a fit lasting more than five minutes, or a head injury followed by drowsiness.

- EEG for seizure activity

- Blood tests for vitamin B12, thyroid and sugar
