Neurological Red Flags
Designed for a 60-second scan in primary care. Use this to explain why this theory fits, what would weaken it, and which tests are most worth discussing.
Why this still fits
I want to systematically evaluate whether Neurological Red Flags is contributing to my brain fog and compare it against close alternatives.
What would weaken it
- -Does your pattern fit Neurological Red Flags more consistently than Sleep Apnea when timing, triggers, and recovery are compared side-by-side?
- -Does your pattern fit Neurological Red Flags more consistently than Pain when timing, triggers, and recovery are compared side-by-side?
- -Does your pattern fit Neurological Red Flags more consistently than Digital when timing, triggers, and recovery are compared side-by-side?
- -When symptoms flare, do they reliably occur 1-3 hours after meals and improve when meal composition changes?
Key points to communicate
- •Please document what findings would confirm this cause versus lower confidence.
- •I want an evidence-first workup with clear follow-up criteria.
- •Please note which competing causes should be checked in parallel if results are inconclusive.
- •Please separate metabolic, sleep, autonomic, and medication overlap before narrowing to one cause.
Tests and measurements to discuss
Need the fuller context? Use the test explainers for the measurement itself, or jump back to the tests section on the Neurological Red Flags page to see how the tests fit the whole pattern.
MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
What this helps clarify: Structural neuroimaging used to evaluate red flags and differential neurological causes.
