When should I see a neurologist?
Consider a neurologist when headaches become frequent or change in pattern, when memory or thinking problems get in the way of daily life, when tremor, numbness or tingling does not go away, or after a seizure. Sudden weakness, trouble speaking, vision loss or a sudden severe headache are emergencies: call 911 right away.

What are an EMG and a nerve conduction study?
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies measure how nerves and muscles respond to electrical signals. Doctors use them to look for problems in nerves or muscles, for example when there is numbness, tingling or weakness. Your neurologist will tell you whether you need one.
How should I prepare for a first visit?
- Your ID and a list of the medicines you take.
- Previous results or reports, such as MRI or CT scans and lab tests.
- A short note of your symptoms: when they started, how often they happen and what makes them better or worse.
- A relative or friend who can add details, especially for memory concerns.
