Avatar n tn The next day he woke up with the same symptoms as the stroke 6 years ago and we assumed he had another stroke. The MRI, CTScan shows no new stroke, but his symptoms continue and he doesn't seem to be getting much better. He has lost his job due to the memory loss issues. Any thoughts on what could have happened? We are seeing a neuropsychologist.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you are getting dehydrated and almost a heat stroke. Try to keep very hydrated and don't stay in the car long without AC. Bring water and a wet wash cloth to keep cool. You may want to get your blood electrolytes take (sodium , potassium, chloride and CO2) to see if you have a imbalance of these. You can also drink gatoraide and a banana to try to increase your potassium.
Avatar m tn Now, ever since then when its hot and sunny out even with a hat on and drinking water I feel so sensitive to heat. Hard to enjoy summer. Not sure If I suffered a heat stroke that day or any brain damage. But i will say i have felt slightly different ever since that. Especially, first week of school I had that time a huge panic attack which cause me anxiety which is a big story for another time. Recently this year I had a MRI on my brain for testing something.
Avatar n tn How long ago was your stroke? What kind of stroke did you have? What does your doctor have to say about the migraines?
Avatar f tn 2 week long severe headache with numbness on left hand side of face, migraines/headaches (usually develops on the left hand side of brain near the front - occasionally at the base of the brain (but very rare), diagnosed with depression and anxiety, vertigo (usually the right ear, some issues of balance pops up occasionally as well). I have issues with heat (had a heat stroke and heat exhaustion when I was 16, ever since I am very sensitive to heat).
Avatar m tn According to the American Heart Association, stroke presents with sudden numbness or paralysis of half of the body, sudden headache, sudden confusion, or slurred speech. This can be diagnosed with imaging modalities such as Ct scan or MRI. A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is disrupted, causing brain cells to die. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking.
Avatar n tn I have heard that once a person has had a heat stroke, they can not tolerate the heat anymore. It seems to do something to our body's chemistry. I have not had a heat stroke, but, I am extremely heat intolerant. I am always hot, and I must be in the A/C or I get short of breath, PVC's and feel horrible. I am even hot in the winter. One thing besides heat stroke that can cause heat intolerance is an over-active thyroid and also a lack of natural progesterone.
Avatar f tn I have not idea if they are related to this or were what the doctor told my parent probably cause them (heat stroke-1 and low sugar-2).
Avatar f tn I have had migraines for over 3 years since my stroke which the neurologists seem to think were caused by my stroke. And I have since read many posts from others who have migraines after their strokes. But there are many treatments that the doctors can do. You need to find a headache specialist or at least a neurologist.
Avatar f tn A year ago I believe I suffered some heat exhaustion/stroke and since then, when i start getting hot during activities, i get chills up and down my spine, arms and legs. My calf muscle on my left side will tingle/becomes numb, i get dizzy , my face gets red, i can feel my heart pounding in my head and my breathing is rapid but shallow and i have trouble regulating it for a few minutes. It scares me.
Avatar m tn s actually someone like a real stroke but heat stroke or heat exhaustion affects the brain in a different way and the ongoing symptoms are related to the body's reaction to heat or sun. Not everyone experiences ongoing sensitivity, and yours may ease off. But in my case, it was permanent. I remember those two incidents very well to this day, man I was sick (unbelievable). So in a way I am not surprised.
Avatar f tn Its fine to go swimming, however I highly doubt you had heat stroke. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and you would need to be hospitalized. What you are probably referring to is heat exhaustion.
Avatar f tn I also had blurred vision during this time. I had a CT to test me for a stroke/ brain tumor my CT and MRI came back good. I have had these symptoms almost daily for a month with a stutter. I have never stuttered in my life. My mind has been very foggy and sometimes I can not even do basic math. I occasionally am losing feeling in my limbs and sometimes it feels like my limbs are going to sleep while they are resting. Have you heard of this? What could be causing this?

Avatar f tn Thank you. Even though the MRI came up as normal, my question is did I have a TIA (mini stroke). My doctor said he is sure I had 3 TIA's. Thank you for your concern. This is very scary for me. My whole family has died of heart disease, I am the last of the family and the youngest child.
Avatar f tn I'm in limboland, but I've always been heat sensitive. I had heat stroke when I was younger and have had or been on the edge of heat exhaustion quite a few times. I strongly dislike summer due to the heat. I'm in upstate NY and our summer isn't horrible, but we tend to be humid. And, I can count on at least 2 weeks worth of 90+ heat (over 100 with the heat index). In the last year, when I'm overheated it seems worse then it used to.
Avatar f tn No heat wave this year but last year it was horrible, and its very dangerous to get a heat stroke, but in Montreal they have a heat wave and humidity its horrible, and that his not a good combination for me because Im allergic to water and my own sweet so I can't do anything :(
Avatar n tn The doctor did say that if a toxemia stroke did happen, it is where it should be on the MRI. I am hoping that the MRI is just old stuff and not small vessel disease. He did say it was non specific and non fatal. Any thoughts?
