About the clinic

Neurology covers the brain, the spinal cord and the nervous system — and it is the specialty where the patient's own account is often the most decisive diagnostic tool there is. How a symptom began, the order in which things happened, and what sets it off often say more than imaging does. At the same time, neurology is a field where most symptoms are benign but the few that are not need very rapid handling.

We spend time mapping the course carefully, because that is where neurological diagnoses are usually settled — and we always tell you plainly whether your symptom is the kind that can be assessed at a calm pace, or the kind that must not wait.

How it works

1Book and describe your main problem online.
2Upload previous results if you have them — test results, examinations, medication list.
3Video consultation — review of your history and targeted questions.
4A clear plan — next steps, any treatment, and a timeframe for follow-up.

What to prepare

A timeline of your symptoms (when it started, what triggers or relieves it)
Current medications and doses
Known allergies and previous illnesses
Previous test results and examinations, with dates if possible
Your three most important questions for the visit

Call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

A sudden severe headache unlike any headache you have had before
Headache together with fever and a stiff neck, often with sensitivity to light and nausea — this can be meningitis. Call your local emergency number. A rash that doesn't fade when you press on it points to meningococcal blood poisoning.
Sudden facial drooping, weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, or slurred speech (possible stroke). A single one of these symptoms is enough — call your local emergency number immediately. Call even if the symptoms pass on their own.
A new seizure or convulsion
Sudden loss of vision or double vision
Loss of consciousness, or a markedly altered level of consciousness
Sudden severe dizziness with difficulty speaking or with weakness

Digital care cannot replace emergency services. If unsure, seek care immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Can you assess a headache digitally?

Yes, a first structured assessment; some types of headache require further investigation.

Can you follow up epilepsy or Parkinson's disease?

Yes, we can assist with follow-up and guidance.

Can you interpret a CT or MRI I have already had?

Yes, if you upload it.

Can you give a second opinion?

Yes.

What do I do about a new seizure?

For a first seizure, or if the seizure is different from previous ones — seek emergency care, see the safety box.

What happens after the appointment?

A written plan.

Can you assess dizziness?

Yes, we help sort out the cause and guide you onwards.

What do I do if the symptoms get worse?

Do I need an MRI to get a diagnosis?

Often not. Neurological diagnoses rest to a large extent on the symptom picture — an MRI is used when it genuinely adds something.

Can stress cause neurological symptoms?

Yes, stress and anxiety can cause numbness, dizziness and difficulty concentrating. But we always rule out other causes first.

Fifteen common conditions

Migraine

Typical age: All adult ages; most common between 20 and 50.
Background: Recurrent attacks of headache, often with specific triggers.
Symptoms: A throbbing headache, often on one side, sensitivity to light and sound, sometimes an aura.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern and the triggers.
Investigations: The clinical picture; imaging is rarely needed where the pattern is typical.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Acute treatment and, where needed, preventive treatment.
Follow-up: According to symptom control.
Prognosis: Good with the right management.
What you can do yourself: A headache diary kept for a month — the pattern and the triggers almost always only emerge then.
When should you book?: For migraine on more than four days a month, or if the attacks have changed in character.

Tension headache

Typical age: All ages.
Background: The most common type of headache.
Symptoms: A band-like, pressing ache.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern and any warning signs.
Investigations: Rarely needed.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Pain relief and stress management.
Follow-up: If the pattern changes.
Prognosis: Good.
What you can do yourself: Review your sleep, screen time and working posture before you increase painkillers.
When should you book?: For daily headache, or if you take painkillers on more than ten days a month (which can cause medication-overuse headache).

Epilepsy — follow-up

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Recurrent epileptic seizures.
Symptoms at follow-up: Seizure control and side effects of treatment.
What the doctor looks for: Seizure frequency and adherence to medication.
Investigations: A review of previous EEGs and records.
Diagnosis: Already made; this concerns follow-up.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good seizure control is achievable for most people.
What you can do yourself: Keep a seizure diary with time, duration and any triggers — lack of sleep and alcohol are the most common.
When should you book?: If seizures become more frequent, or where you suspect side effects.

Parkinson's disease — follow-up

Typical age: More common after 60.
Background: A progressive nerve disease that affects movement.
Symptoms: Tremor, stiffness, slow movements.
What the doctor looks for: How symptoms are progressing, and the effect of treatment.
Investigations: A review of previous assessments.
Diagnosis: Already made; this concerns follow-up.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Varies; good symptom control is achievable for a long time.
What you can do yourself: Regular physical activity has a documented benefit on both symptoms and the course of the disease.
When should you book?: If the symptom picture changes, or if the medication no longer lasts as long as it used to.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) — follow-up

Typical age: Usually between 20 and 40 at onset.
Background: An autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system.
Symptoms at follow-up: Varying neurological symptoms.
What the doctor looks for: Changes in symptoms and the effect of treatment.
Investigations: A review of previous MRI scans and records.
Diagnosis: Already made; this concerns follow-up.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Very variable; good treatment is available.
What you can do yourself: Note new symptoms with the date — assessing a relapse rests on the time course.
When should you book?: For new neurological symptoms that have lasted more than a day.

Peripheral neuropathy

Typical age: Adults; more common with age or with diabetes.
Background: Damage to the peripheral nerves.
Symptoms: Numbness, pins and needles, burning pain in the feet or hands.
What the doctor looks for: The distribution, and the underlying cause.
Investigations: History, blood tests, sometimes nerve conduction studies.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture, with or without testing.
Management: Directed at the cause, with pain relief.
Follow-up: According to the cause.
Prognosis: Varies with the underlying cause.
What you can do yourself: Check your feet daily where sensation is reduced — otherwise sores are found too late.
When should you book?: For numbness that is spreading, or where weakness is developing alongside it.

TIA — follow-up questions

Typical age: Adults; more common with age.
Background: A temporary disturbance in the blood flow to the brain.
Symptoms at follow-up: Questions about recovery and prevention.
What the doctor looks for: Risk factors and previous investigation.
Investigations: A review of previous records.
Diagnosis: Already investigated; this concerns follow-up.
Management: Secondary prevention, according to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good with the right secondary prevention.
What you can do yourself: Check your blood pressure regularly and take prescribed blood thinners strictly as directed.
When should you book?: For follow-up. For new symptoms of neurological loss — call your local emergency number, do not book.

New neurological symptoms (facial drooping, weakness, difficulty speaking, loss of vision) are always an emergency — see the safety box. A single one of these symptoms is enough — call your local emergency number immediately. Call even if the symptoms pass on their own.

Essential tremor

Typical age: Can begin at any adult age.
Background: A harmless but troublesome shaking, often inherited.
Symptoms: Shaking, particularly on movement or holding a posture.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern, and what distinguishes it from Parkinson's disease.
Investigations: The clinical picture.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Medication where needed.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Good; the course is usually stable.
What you can do yourself: Note whether the shaking eases with alcohol — that is typical of essential tremor and useful information.
When should you book?: When the shaking affects everyday life, or if it has changed.

Bell's palsy (facial palsy)

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Sudden one-sided involvement of the facial nerve.
Symptoms: One side of the face drooping.
What the doctor looks for: Symmetry, and ruling out a stroke.
Investigations: The clinical picture; it matters to rule out a stroke urgently at first presentation.
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Often corticosteroids started early, and eye protection.
Follow-up: According to the course.
Prognosis: Good for most people, though it can take time.
What you can do yourself: Eye protection matters most — if you cannot close the eye fully, it needs protecting from drying out.
When should you book?: Urgently for new facial palsy, both to rule out a stroke and so that corticosteroids can be started in time.

New-onset facial palsy must always be assessed as an emergency to begin with, in order to rule out a stroke — see the safety box.

Restless legs syndrome

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Discomfort in the legs that creates an urge to move, often in the evening.
Symptoms: A crawling or uncomfortable feeling in the legs, eased by moving.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern and the link to sleep.
Investigations: History, sometimes blood tests (iron status).
Diagnosis: The clinical picture.
Management: Lifestyle measures, medication where needed.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Good; it is manageable.
What you can do yourself: Have your iron level checked — iron deficiency is a common and treatable cause.
When should you book?: When the symptoms regularly disturb your sleep.

Dizziness — working out which type

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms in healthcare and one of the hardest to sort out, because the word is used for completely different experiences. Separating spinning vertigo from unsteadiness or a feeling of faintness is the single most important step — they point towards entirely different causes.
Common symptoms: Spinning vertigo, unsteadiness, a swaying feeling, or a sense of faintness — which patients often describe with the same word.
What the doctor looks for: Whether it spins (the inner ear), whether it sways (the balance system or something neurological), or whether things go black (the circulation).
Investigations: Clinical assessment; blood pressure lying and standing; sometimes further balance or neurological investigation.
How the assessment is made: By first classifying the type of dizziness, then looking for the cause.
Management: Directed by the type — in BPPV, simple manoeuvres can give immediate relief.
Follow-up: According to the cause.
Risk factors to know: Older age, blood pressure medication, cardiovascular disease, migraine, previous ear infections.
Common misconception: That all dizziness comes from the inner ear. It is a common cause, but far from the only one.
What you can do yourself: Try to describe the dizziness without using the word "dizzy" — does it spin, sway, or go black? That is the most valuable information you can give.
When should you book?: For recurrent dizziness. For dizziness with double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness or a severe headache — call your local emergency number.
Prognosis: Good for the most common causes, particularly BPPV.

Memory problems and worry about cognition

Typical age: Most common from 60 onwards, but it occurs earlier.
Background: Many people worry about dementia when they become forgetful — but the most common causes of memory problems in younger and middle-aged adults are stress, lack of sleep, depression and medication, all of which can be addressed. That makes a structured assessment worthwhile rather than a "wait and see".
Common symptoms: Forgetfulness, difficulty finding words, reduced concentration, repeated questions.
What the doctor looks for: Whether the problems affect everyday functioning or are just experienced as troublesome, and whether people close to you have noticed the same thing.
Investigations: Cognitive screening, blood tests (B12, thyroid, haemoglobin), a medication review; further investigation through a memory clinic where needed.
How the assessment is made: By separating treatable causes from what requires specialist investigation.
Management: Directed at the underlying cause.
Follow-up: According to the findings.
Risk factors to know: Depression, sleep apnoea, B12 deficiency, alcohol, certain medicines, older age, family history.
Common misconception: That memory problems always mean dementia beginning. In people under 65 it is considerably more often stress, sleep or depression.
What you can do yourself: Ask someone close to you whether they have noticed the same thing — their observation carries real weight in the assessment.
When should you book?: When the memory problems affect work or everyday life, or when someone close to you has noticed a change.
Prognosis: Often very good — many causes are entirely treatable.

Numbness and pins and needles — neurological assessment

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Sensory symptoms follow the anatomy of the nerves, which means the distribution often reveals where the problem sits — a nerve root, a peripheral nerve, or centrally. That is why careful mapping is often more informative than imaging.
Common symptoms: Numbness, pins and needles, a burning feeling, sometimes with weakness at the same time.
What the doctor looks for: The exact distribution, whether it is one-sided or symmetrical, and whether there is any motor involvement.
Investigations: Clinical assessment; blood tests (B12, blood glucose, thyroid); nerve conduction studies or an MRI where needed.
How the assessment is made: By mapping the symptoms against known nerve territories.
Management: Directed at the cause.
Follow-up: Sooner where there is weakness alongside it.
Risk factors to know: Diabetes, B12 deficiency, heavy alcohol use, previous back or neck problems, certain chemotherapies.
Common misconception: That numbness in the hands or feet is always a circulation problem. A nerve cause is considerably more common.
What you can do yourself: Draw exactly where the numbness sits on a body outline — that is the most useful information there is.
When should you book?: For numbness lasting more than two weeks. For sudden one-sided weakness or difficulty speaking — call your local emergency number.
Prognosis: Good with early treatment; nerve problems recover more slowly the longer they are left.

Persistent fatigue with neurological questions

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Many people see a neurologist about fatigue out of worry about MS or another neurological disease. Fatigue on its own is rarely neurological — but combined with specific neurological symptoms the picture changes, and it is precisely that distinction that makes the assessment worthwhile.
Common symptoms: Marked fatigue, sometimes with numbness, changes in vision or difficulty concentrating.
What the doctor looks for: Whether there are objective neurological findings or only subjective fatigue.
Investigations: A broad blood screen first (haemoglobin, iron, thyroid, B12, inflammation); neurological investigation where there are accompanying findings.
How the assessment is made: By first ruling out the common, treatable causes.
Management: Directed at the established cause.
Follow-up: After the test results.
Risk factors to know: Iron deficiency, thyroid disturbance, sleep apnoea, depression, long-term stress — all more common than neurological disease.
Common misconception: That fatigue in itself suggests MS. MS rarely causes fatigue alone — there are usually other, clearly defined neurological symptoms.
What you can do yourself: Map your sleep for two weeks and note whether the fatigue varies through the day.
When should you book?: For fatigue lasting more than a month, particularly alongside numbness, changes in vision or problems with balance.
Prognosis: Good — most people get a treatable explanation.

Facial pain and trigeminal neuralgia

Typical age: More common after 50.
Background: Trigeminal neuralgia causes some of the most intense pain described anywhere in medicine — short, electric shocks in the face, often set off by touch, chewing or cold air. It is frequently mistaken for toothache, which leads to unnecessary dental treatment before the right diagnosis is made.
Common symptoms: Lightning-fast, very intense attacks of pain in one half of the face, often triggered by a light touch.
What the doctor looks for: The character of the pain (electric and brief, not aching), the triggers, and strictly one-sided distribution.
Investigations: The clinical picture; an MRI to rule out an underlying cause.
How the diagnosis is made: Above all on the symptom picture — it is highly characteristic.
Management: Specific medication (ordinary painkillers work poorly); surgery in selected cases.
Follow-up: Regular while treatment is ongoing.
Risk factors to know: Age, MS (which raises the risk of trigeminal neuralgia, particularly in younger people).
Common misconception: That it is toothache. Many people undergo dental treatment unnecessarily before the right diagnosis is made — the electric, lightning-fast character of the pain is the decisive difference.
What you can do yourself: Note exactly what sets the attacks off — touch, chewing, cold air — it strengthens the diagnosis.
When should you book?: For lightning-fast, intense facial pain, particularly if your dentist has found no explanation.
Prognosis: Good pain control is achievable for most people with the right medication.
