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 n tn His doctor has given him an MRI, and he has no sign of stroke or tumor. Are these typical symptoms or a person that attempts to quit after excessive use for a long period of time? Also, his tolerance level changed, which made him stop in the first place, along with family intervention.
Avatar n tn Should ever experience these symptoms collectively, get yourself to an ER immediately because some the damage done by a stroke can be reversed if anti-coagulants are administered within 3 - 4hrs of the clot developing. The anti-coagulant, in and of itself, is a potent drug, so the ER would thoroughly vet you before administering it--which will include a check-up by the neurologist on call. I'm not a doctor, but judging by your post, I doubt you're having a stroke...
Avatar n tn Rapid assessment of acute ischemia is critical for the management of acute stroke patiens who may benefit from thrombolytics or neuroprotective therapeutics. Differentiation of acute from chronic stroke, which may all appear hyperintense on T2- Weighted Imaging(T2WI ), is essential in determining the management of patiens.
Avatar f tn If there was evidence of an acute stroke on the MRI, investigation for causes of stroke in a young person (of which there are many many causes including blood clots from various areas of the body including heart and legs, various clotting tendencies including the clotting tendency that occurs in all women around pregnancy but also other hereditary or non-hereditary clotting disorders, and some genetic disorders such as CADASIL and mitochondrial disorders).

Avatar m tn What is the definition of acute Atrial fibrillation? Is it related to duration or symptoms? How the atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate should be treated in hemodynamically stable patients? What are the choices available? How the patient with acute ischemic stroke & atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate should be treated? Will the medicines controlling the heart rate not lower down the blood pressure, resulting in worsening of stroke?
Avatar n tn The level of occlusion of your carotid arteries may have produced the stroke like symptoms you had in the past, possibly a transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, this is not likely to fully explain your present symptoms of progressive fatigue. TIA's would also not show anything on scans (MRI, CT or SPECT), unless a full blown stroke was completed. I believe that you and your doctors should take a multidimensional approach in the treatment of your depression.
Avatar m tn Like if an area of the brain is affected, it causes certain results peripherally. In the absence of this, it is difficult to say that the symptoms are due to TIA or stroke. Many times with TIAs the imaging studies do not pick up any positive findings. If your symptoms persist or recur consult your doctor. Regards.
Avatar f tn Furthermore, psychotic episodes may be an acute change like that seen in delirium, stroke, or seizure. Depending on the complete history, including family history, associated symptoms, and clinical examination, imaging findings will likely be in different anatomical locations. As a general rule, MRI is better for looking at anatomy and for pathological conditions (e.g.
Avatar n tn My mother suffered an acute subdural hematoma after falling down the stairs, hitting her head. She had surgery to drain the blood within a 2 hour window. Her recovery was outstanding at first, and was sent home a week later. She seemed to be pretty close to 100% mentally - able to carry on inteligent conversations with no problems. All of a sudden a couple days after she had been taken home, she began to be unable to "spit out" what she was trying to say.
Avatar f tn What could cause numbness on the right arm, hip and leg, nausea, in addition to acute chest pain.
Avatar n tn The difference lies in the onset of symptoms. In migraine the onset of symptoms is slow and insidious while in stroke these symptoms occur acutely. Stroke patients also have one or more risk factors for stroke like high BP, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and chronic alcoholism and stress. I would suggest you to get another evaluation done by your neurologist and keep us posted.

Avatar n tn Remember that while emergency rooms are the appropriate choice for an acute situation like stroke symptoms, that you then should follow up with your primary care doctor or a neurologist after. We recommend you see a pcp or neurologist now which it does sound like you've had some follow up to discuss lack of feeling in your toe. Here is some general information on TIA's. https://www.webmd.com/stroke/what-is-tia#1 How exactly did they diagnose you with a TIA?
Avatar m tn The doctors are recommending surgery on the right side first, since that is the side of the stroke. She was moved to acute rehab first to get stronger and to give a diagnosed UTI time to clear up. Is there a time frame for the most success for both cardioid surgeries. The surgeon said 1-2 weeks after the stroke and neurologist said it is elective and can be done in a few weeks after she gets stronger.
Avatar f tn Thank god i have yearly allergies which I think are worsening as the summer arrives which could be the cause of most of my symptoms.
Avatar n tn Hi, Having been overly concerned with an exposure myself that everyone says is non risk I've come to familiarize myself with many of the facts regarding symptoms. As I've been told many times over symptoms are never a good indicator. The slightest symptom can raise your anxiety level which in turn can cause more symptoms. ARS as I've been told cant start sooner than 10 days.
Avatar f tn I was curious if the standard, acute treatment for a hemorrhagic stroke included an emergency vent shunt. My sixty one year old father suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke 10 months ago. He received a CT scan upon arrival at the emergency room where they determined he had a hemorrhagic stroke. At that point he was considered a 3 on the Glasgow coma scale.
Avatar f tn my headaches and neck problems, sleeping, breathing, everything seems so much worse ever since i had a bad cough and a medical test (where a tube was stuck down my throught for a few hours to measure stomach acid- made me gag, dry heave and strain). are the worsening symptoms likely a flare? they have been really bad the past month? or could it mean my chiari herniation/syrinx is worse or do those likely take more time to progress?
744637 tn?1250803022 Hi, It is difficult to differentiate complicated migraine from stroke. The symptoms of stroke develop very rapidly while the symptoms of complicated migraine develop insidiously. MRI and CT scan in patients of stroke shows the characteristic small vessel ischemic changes. The best treatment for migraine is recognition and avoidance of trigger. Medications like NSAIDS are used to abort acute attacks of migraine. Other medications include butalbital, isometheptene and botox.
Avatar n tn Anyway if you look up complicated migraines all the symptoms fit and they can cause stroke like symptoms. I hope you mother is feeling better soon, I know it has been a long and painful road for me!!
Avatar m tn My dad in Indonesia, 63 years old, is currently in hospital due to stroke (brainsteam?) since a month ago. Based on what I heard, I am in usa, he is currently physically getting better. He can write and move his hand/foot. However, he still can not breath by himself and rely on the ventilator although the doctor did tracheotomy. Everytime, the ventilator is taken out and replace with the oxygen, he start having difficulty to breath.
