Hi! I am very concerned about a relative of mine who had a stroke about two months ago. The stroke didn't leave any very serious damage, but nevertheless he had an operation on his heart to insert a device to block the flow of blood from one chamber to another, as he had a PFO or a small hole in the heart. This was done successfully. He also has an anuyerism on his heart in the same area, which I believe gave rise to the stroke initially, as a clot went to his brain.
The main problem is that I feel very hot, sweaty and dizzy with a heart beat of over 116. I am already on medication, and as stated, the Doctors are taking it as a joke. Kindly advise me what can be done as this is really affecting my daily life. My weight is 65 kg 1,72 cm tall. I am scared of getting a stroke.
I am 58yo. Gave up smoking 15 years ago. Don't drink. Walk 3-4 miles daily. Swim. Eat very well - fruit, vegetables, brown rice, fish, white meat, no junk. I do all the right things. Regular medical check ups. Not overweight. BP and all my numbers are good. Yet 2 months ago I had a massive heart attack. I required 2 stents. I don't understand why the heart attack occurred. Blood sugar normal. No family history of heart disease.
This happens by a system of vasodilation and vasoconstriction coupled with the pumping rate and stroke volume of the heart. Rather than make frequent changes in volume, the body changes the configuration of the total container (all the vessels) and increases the speed at which the resource is renewed.
He evaluated the association between coffee drinking and stroke by looking at data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, taken in 1988-94. He zeroed in on the 9,384 adults older than 40 who were coffee drinkers. Of those, 500 (5 percent) had been told by their doctor that they'd had a stroke. And 2,793 (29.8 percent) had self-reported stroke symptoms or a mini-stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack.
I read that women who experience zigzag lines in their peripheral vision have a greater risk of stroke and heart disease. Is this true and if so, what course should I take to determine if I am at a higher risk and how I can prevent stroke? I am a 55 year old woman with no history of heart disease, but I do have hyperlipidemia controlled with medication. Thank you for any information you can provide.
I once had a pair of Siamese Twin Midgets and it like hitting the lottery. I once tried a Bearded Woman but when I sobered up, realized it was just a Homeless guy. I must admit, the “Will Work for Food” sign was a turn on. Since he was already there, I gave him a Bologna sandwich and had him clean my house. The other advantage was, I didn’t have to give him a ride home.
Never the less, unless your Talley Whacker had a cut on it you should be fine as far as HCV goes.
I, too, was diagnosed with SVT, and a condition called POTS (where your blood flow and heart beats vary depending on your body's position - sitting up, laying down, etc.)
I had seen 7 different cardiologist over a period of 8 years, most of them specializing in arrhythmia's and ablations. One night, I had what felt to me like a stroke - fast, painless, but half by face and body felt numb / tingly. I could function fine, but it FELT wrong.
I stay on a lowfat diet and have receently started the low tyramine diet recommended by the NHF to help with the frequency of my migraines. I don't smoke and don't have hypertension byt heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure all run in my family. I have had migraines for 25 years and lately have been extremely hard to control. I am going to a headache clinic in Tampa for a week to go th rough a migraine treatment program to see if it will help. It has to my job depends on it.
I have been having numbness and tingling in my left arm and hand, sometimes my left leg and even tonight a little in my right arm. I have a family history of stroke (mother died of stroke, and grandmother on her side too), but I also read that menopause can cause numbness. I admitted myself to ER two weeks ago due to these symptoms (and some indigestion), and since then have had a stress test (which was borderline), and am set up to do a heart cath.
Hi, its difficult to tell the exact prognosis. As the post stroke swelling subsides she may recover function. But now all depends on if her vitals are stable or not. As she is improving and if the "stroke" is stabilized, and there is no further bleeding or clotting I would remain optimistic. Regards.
My husband has had Arrhythmia for about a year and a half. It started out and would come when ever. He has had a electrophesiaologist study done and is on beta blockers only when it occurs. The studys didn't pin point where his heart was misfiring and they said there was no reason why it is going on. About 3 months now it comes for 2 weeks and then it is gone for 2 weeks. Why the pattern? His Arrhythmia is like his heart skips a beat. I can put my head on his chest and hear it.
We are not sure when she had it but we think it was 18hrs before we found her. She had scans done on her brain and they said she had a massive stroke and brain bleed. When we found her she was breathing on her own and had a heart beat but wasn't responsive, she is still like that today. The doctors say she has less than 5% chance of surviving and not to revive her if she has a heart attack as she will end up with no quality of life.
My Dad had a stroke 8 days ago, The doctors say it was an Ischimec stroke as the CT scan showed no bleeding. He has retained movement in his limbs and can walk with some assistance, However he has no memory or recognition function. He does not recognise his own family which is heart breaking, He is extremely restless and irritable. He cannot communicate, some words are understood but most are slurred, he cannot feed himself or use the bathroom. He sleeps for hours on end.
5 months ago she had a massive stroke which has left her paralysed on the left side. (This is her 3rd stroke) Due to medicine she was taking she developed bleeding ulcers and had to be given blood. She was also dehydrated. Since leaving the hospital 3 weeks ago (she is now in a nursing facility) her oxygen levels continue to drop to 78. Her machine was on 5 1/2 this week and once they got her back to 92 they put it back to 3. even with the oxygen on it continues to drop.
He is 70 years old with blood work and blood pressure of a much younger man. When you take coumadin to help prevent a stroke then learn that taking it could also cause a stroke-that's kind of scary. My husband also started taking cod liver oil daily which we read keeps those arteries nice and slippery making it hard for clots to form. He also takes bunches of different vitamins. Thanks also for the heads up about a physicians "Standard of Care" rules.
I am 64, had a heart attack last year and also have a lot of risk factors for stroke. For the last weak I have had constant numbness and a lot of weakness on my left side. I never had the weakness before, nor the numbness around the clock, so it makes me suspect a stroke. I was off my plavix for a few days last week as I have no insurance anymore. How can I differentiate between the stenosis and a stroke.
