The rsik of stroke is higher when in Afib than when not. However, for true statistics, i recommend you look on the american heart association website under their entry for a-fib. Being on blood thinner is the right course of action. Talk to a professional about the true risk differential. Best wishes.
As my DD is in Keppra, and has previously been on other seizure meds, the Keppra, by far has had the least amount of side-effects. You could ask if some of her mood changes, memory loss, etc. are from the stroke vs. the Keppra. Please do not wean her off the medication without a Dr's directive... that could cause withdrawal seizures.
My thoughts are with you that your mother gets well soon.
Brain damage coma can/will occur after oxygen deprivation to brain cells. Depending on what part of the brain has damaged cells and damaged is usually localized to a specific region.

Hi auntsissi ,
I am really sorry to hear about your father’s condition .Itching could occur after stroke if the stroke is in the thalamus area of the brain which receives the sensory information of pain , touch , temperature , pressure and other sensations from all over the body . The onset may be from days to weeks after the stroke . Topical therapy with moisturizers and emollients helps alleviate the itching . Treatment with amitriptylene 50 mg a day results in resolution of the itching .
I have been searching for information on the web about hair loss after a stroke. I had a subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke from a brain aneurysm in January of 2010. I had an endovascular coiling treatment to stop the bleeding, and I have since had a repeat coiling procedure (in April) when it reopened.
My husband had a TIA about a month ago, he had no residual effects. I have noticed that since then he is very distant and aloof with me, which is not normal at all for him. Does this go away?

That being said, it was thought for the last hundred years that brain cells died and would not replicate. Recently, it was found that new brain cells do in fact generate, and that damage can be repaired, albeit slowly, provided there is no cumulative additional insult. Scientific American reviewed this "new" brain cell generation in a recent issue of their periodic "Brain".
One of the most common after effects of strokes is severe or mild pain in various parts of the body. Pain can usually be minimized very easily with pain medication. Many will just require standard pain relief such as an aspirin while others may need something much stronger such as hospital-grade pain relief medications including morphine.
Also, "aproximately 8 percent of people who have had a stroke will suffer from a neuropathic pain caused by damage to neurons in the brain".
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body does not mean that it was a Stroke. The adverse effects of Effexor overdose are- vertigo, dizziness, nausea, numbness/tingling in the hands or feet, sleepiness, rapid or slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, or coma. Since you had taken a heavy overdose and that too pills expired 5 yrs back, the adverse effects would be even worse in severity.
My mother had a stroke about three months ago (blood cloth coming from the heart) at the young age of 56 and since this moment she had some changes in her behavior. Some of these changes were immediate, like being very impulsive and pushy, being hyperactive and talking slowly. Also, she began to spend more money than usual from these moment, mostly on things she did not plan to buy in advance.
However, danger of a stroke trumps the side effects of the drug. I went into Afib after bypass surgery and was administered Amiodarone, and it stopped the Afib within twenty-four hours. My side effects were itchy eyes from the drug, and believe me, itchy eyes was an easy trade-off from a stroke.
Keep us informed.
I've been living with what seem to be the after effects of some really bad experiences on exctacy for the last two years. I wasn't a long term drug user but got caught up in it pretty heavely for a few months doing a lot of coke and x a bunch of times. The last trip I had, which is going back almost two years now seemed to really **** me up.
I have spoken with several physicians about these symptoms being after effects from the interferon treatments and they have all told me that I cannot possibly be suffering from any relation to the drug treatments after all these years. I guess I am looking for some sort of affirmation that I am not just crazy, or faking so as to avoid working for a living. Please help me. thank you for your time.
