stroke

She could not stand. After treatment for stroke she now stands on the leg.She is 70 years old. She had left carotid artery completely blocked for long time. This was never noticed. Now in additio we observed that her short term memory is getting deterioted.In the past twenty years slowly it is observed that her blood supply to brain was getting reduced. This process was stabilised .But now we find that memory loss is occuring.At present she is practically all the time in the bed lying.

I went to the PCP and Neurologist two days later and had an MRI 5 days later and they saw a stroke in the cerebellum and signs of a mini stroke that they classified as 'old'. I fortunately did not have ongoing loss of speech, or weakness in limbs etc...but have suffered from weird dizziness and electric shock feelings in my head. They seem to get better - but then get wrose again....Dr's are saying it is maybe anxiety --but is not. I have had anxiety before and these are different.

Mid April I awoke with a terrific headache and diarrhea, figured it was a stomach virus. Felt bad the next day, then began feeling better. Couple days later had some mild dizziness but had flown a day or so before. Flew home a couple days later. Began to feel somewhat dizzy that afternoon and then it hit. It felt like someone pushed me in my chest. Came home and lay down, BP was fine, but kept feeling bad. So I went to urgent care.

You may have had a mild hyperthyroid state at least 3 weeks ago which is now resolving. The INR is normal (this is only used in patients on blood thinners - if not on thinners - nl is 1). MCHC is ok. Glucose should be repeated as a fasting value - if still high (100-125) it's pre-diabetes, if >125 worrisome for diabetes. Would repeat thyroid function in 4 weeks to ensure a full recovery.

The EKG, CT-Scan and blood work all came back normal and later during the week, so did the ultrasound on my neck arteries and the echo on my heart. My internist said it could be a mini-stroke but the symptoms persist a week later, with complete numbness of the tongue and lips. He told me it might be a side effect of my anti-depressant, Pristiq, and has taken the dose down from 100mg to 50mg. I am to report in next week to let him know what my symptoms are doing.

The lesion also predominantly affects cortical tissue, consistent with a stroke. Is there any way of knowing if this stroke is 1 month, 3 months, 1 year old? I'm 38, non smoker, low cholesterol and was wearing the ortho evra patch.

Re Recovery Time, Thank you for posting this. My husband had a "mild" stroke on Dec 18, and we are still trying to figure out how to process all the changes that have occurred in our lives. We're not even sure what "mild" means for he had a stroke that left his entire left side affected (with little to no sensation), but his speech, mobility and brain functions seem relatively unimpaired.

Not signs of stroke, but signs of something, it's a symptom. Sounds like neuralgia or nerve pain...but the source needs to be determined, both for treatment and to give you peace of mind! What kind of doctors did you go see? Did they do any tests? Where you having symptoms at the time you saw the them?

When did your dad have the stroke and what kind of stroke? Sounds like he's doing what my husband did while in the hospital...pulling his clothes off and exposing himself.

high BP, high cholesterol, mild arthritis, borderline hypothyroidism (TSH 4.5), Raynauds, factor V Leiden (heterozygous) . I have been thoroughly worked up, because my family doctor was surprised by all the problems that started cropping up. The latest - suspected glaucoma, is quite a shock. I don't have any family history of glaucoma - only of heart disease and stroke. My grandmother lost all vision in her left eye as a result of a "blood clot".

I suspect an EMG is next, but i would still like to know from an outside source what some of the possible causes of upper motor neuron signs (along with the sensory signs). ALS usually doesn't give sensory signs that I know of. (I am a 43 year old female with a 10 year history of extreme fatigue, some elelvated body temp,and nightime myoclonus). Any info. greatly appreciated!

I had a stroke at the age of 39. I am currently 41. I had a stroke in my sleep. When I woke up the next morning my left arm was completely numb and had lost complete strength. I thought perhaps it was maybe caused my a pinch nerve or something. Then my daughters came home and made dinner, they asked me to watch the dinner in the oven. By the time my daughter came back into the kitchen dinner was burning in the oven, and I had no remembrance of her even asking me to watch what was in the oven.

But how can we stop it before it gets worse?

bronchitis) I have had several ECHO's and the results always read mild left concentric hypertrophic, systolic anterior movement of my mitral valve, moderate MR and LAE. The cardiologist that reads the echo says its related to my high blood pressure.. again, I do not have high blood pressure and no one seems to listen. The strange thing is that high blood pressure is never mentioned in my records, and every time they take it for my office visit it is always in the normal range.

Hope this helps, please keep us informed, and we likewise of any further developments. Thanks Dave n Nicola 3years ago I had a mild stroke, and since that day, ive been having TIA type attacks near daily. WHY? I need answers and help PLEASE. Hi my name is Dave. I am requiring any help feedback, as to whether anyone else seems to have or have had recurring stroke like symptoms, 3years after a small stroke. With the help of my wife and others, I have compiled this.

I am due to see a 'Neuro-Physio' who has stated i am to be treated for Mild Hemiplegia. Does a mild stroke/Meningitis always show on a scan? Could these symptoms be the cause of an unseen head injury from my accident 2years ago? Something is obviously wrong but i am not receiving treatment due to all tests being clear. Any help would be greatly appreciated as there does not seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel!

Strengths of the study include the use of strict criteria for the safety endpoint (doubling of ALT either from normal or baseline value as a sign of liver injury); therefore, even mild liver injury was likely to be detected biochemically. Because statin hepatotoxicity is thought to be dose related, the investigators also used a high therapeutic dose of pravastatin (80 mg/d).

She stayed there for 8 days and nothing much the doctor can do as the pain still there thru out her stayed. I am so afraid that she will have mild stroke. And the doc diagnosed that she have chronic migrain. And she have been taking pain killer cafergot for many years and this time is the rebound migrain or overused of the drug. I have did some research on migrain as I personally have migrain attacked, I have it lesser now compare to last time.

With the recent introduction of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) drugs, how has the standard of care changed for the E.R. physician in his/her treatment of a patient with symptoms of stroke (e.g. dizziness, vomiting, blurred vision, hypertension, lethargy and loss of awareness), but whose CT Scan is negative and desires to leave the E.R.? What is the standard of care both pre- and post-t-PA?

he has been under a great amount of stress lately and i suspect that he is perhaps haveing a mild stroke. Yet dispite all that has happened he still refuses to go to the Doctor. it would help if i have documentaton of stroke symptoms. and i plan to call 911 if he refuses once more. Thanks for your question. There are indeed quite a number of points of concern in your father's scenario: 1.

, that is depressing and cold. I had mild to moderate side effects from treatment. Since stopping treatment I can FEEL (from pressure) my liver swelling on both sides. I have lost more weight since being OFF treatment than on. I have ALOT of muscle loss. I have skin pigmentation loss and my Platelet count/weight is DROPPING constantly. Please don't say ask the drs because I can't get any answers ......... they r too busy to explain to me what is going on. Does anyone know ?

I have a lot of questions about what treatments you have been given for all of your stroke symptoms. If you could feel that you are making some progress, then I think it would relieve some of your depression. Please let me know what treatments you are getting. If you're not, then you need your family to push very hard for you getting the treatments. So don't give up yet. My prayers will be with you.

However from the moment I had this mild stroke I have been getting recurring stroke like type symptoms, for now 3years after from 3 to 7days a week during my sleep and frequently during the day. Initially my left leg had a small shake uncontrollably, however since being prescribed Pregabalin in the 1stsix months,its virtually stopped.

At what time does the clock start counting down until the end (can a person have lung cancer for 2 years, have NO signs of cancer AND still be living) 2. How long does he have 3. When the end is near, will there be any signs or could there be none I’ve read many posts on the internet regarding Stage 4, people saying that a person had died after finding out 3 months, 2 weeks, 1 year, etc. I’m confused at what point did the clock start when the end came.

If your symptoms are severe, then it is severe; if your symptoms are mild, then it is mild. I don't believe that herniation is an indicator of severity of symptoms or seriousness. Chiari is serious condition...maybe not life-threatening. It is sometimes more serious than others, but it is not something that you want to ignore. You will need to find a doctor that specializes in Chiari.

1) The best time to treat is early in the disease. Any treatment done early in the disease (the first several years) is more effective than the same med and length of treatment done later. Once symptoms turn bad it is too late to start the meds and expect them to have their full usefulness. 2) There have now been recent studies of people who have not been treated because of "benign MS." One was examining how well these people were walking at 15 and 20 years after diagnosis.

This is not a question but an alert. You may have post treatment symptoms that ARE correctable. You ALL should have your Vitamin D levels checked. I used to have it checked regular, but with tx I lost my mojo and din't do it for the last 3 years...turns out this was a BAD mistake that put me through a hellish year. Everyone is concerned these days with the autoimmune long term effects of HCV treatment.

Depression and other psychiatric disorders occurred both during the interferon-treatment period and in the post-treatment period. Abuse of illicit drugs or ethanol was reported. Very frequently drug abuse represented a relapse of drug addiction and was often associated with development of depression. Overdoses of illicit drugs were also reported. These events did not appear to be a manifestation of suicidal behavior.
