Avatar m tn Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a vascular condition in which a deficit occurs transiently and leaves no permanent deficit and has normal neuroimaging. The symptoms and signs of TIAs are similar to those of stroke. For example, numbness or tingling or weakness of one side of the body, difficulty speaking, difficulty with grabbing objects (i.e.

659608 tn?1318289366 I have had a strange pain in my neck, jaw area for months, and seems to get worse when my chest hurts. My Primary doctor does not think any of this is heart or stroke related, however last week the cardioligist at the stress test, said they were. I am very discouraged and so tired of feeling like this all the time. I have no energy, and am unable to do many of the things I have always done. Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar m tn I was fooling myself to believe she had not had a stroke when all the signs were there. Two days later they told me “oh yes she had a BIG stroke.” Why didn’t the ER find it, and why didn’t they treat her in some way even if the CAT scan was negative? I don’t have a medical background, so I would appreciate any info. I plan to call a doctor to find out what protocol they did use if any.
Avatar m tn This could also be signs of a heart attack but then something as simple as a tummy virus and a pinched nerve. She needs to be seen!

Avatar f tn About one-third of those who have a TIA will have an acute stroke some time in the future. Many strokes can be prevented by heeding the warning signs of TIAs and treating underlying risk factors. The most important treatable factors linked to TIAs and stroke are high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, heart disease, carotid artery disease, diabetes, and heavy use of alcohol. Medical help is available to reduce and eliminate these factors.
Avatar n tn My baby had a stroke prior to or at birth that affected her right frontal lobe and right temportal lobe. At 6 months, she appears to have no outward signs of the stroke. From what I've read, some of the damage of the stroke may not be seen until later. Does anyone else have a child like mine? What did you find over time.
Avatar n tn This is an episode when a person has stroke like symptoms for up to 2 hours, and signals that a true stroke may happen in future if adequate steps are not taken. This is caused by temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain which results in brief decrease in brain function called neurological deficit. This can be secondary to a blood clot in an artery of the brain, emboli from heart, irregular heart rhythm etc. this will not be seen on brain CT/ MRI.
Avatar f tn In July my cardiologist said I have early signs of sick sinus syndrome. I have a low resting heart rate of 50, drops to mid to high 30's at times during night, otherwise in 40's during night. In October I had an event monitor for a month. Dr. said it shows I have SVT/AFIB and prescribed Propafanone. After reviewing this drug and all the other similar ones, I decided not to take it. I'm taking 325 mg of aspirin a day.
Avatar m tn s diseases can all lead to health complications such as brain stroke and heart attacks. The reason why you must follow this procedure is because you will be able to learn more about what causes the stroke and how you can help treat the dog better. In such case you can avoid a second recurrence. When the dog returns home, you will need to ensure that he gets plenty of rest for a few weeks. You will need to assist your pet during eating, and helping it move for its daily activities.
Tbd Hello and thank you for your very basic question. It is very important for everyone to get regular physicals to stay on top of their health and cholesterol screening is often a part of that. One of the trickiest things about monitoring cholesterol is that high cholesterol has no symptoms. You will only know that is high if you have blood drawn and a doctor tells you. But it is essential to keep cholesterol under control to prevent things like heart attack and stroke.
Avatar m tn They told us she can’t do therapy until her heart gets stronger but again, they were doing therapy 2 days after the stroke and said they’ve known all along about her heart problems. I ask if her heart is worse now, they say no it’s the same. I ask if her lungs are worse now and they say no they are better and have less fluid in them now than they did 11 days ago. I ask if her lungs were worse on day 1, why is it affecting her oxygen when they are much better now and they have no idea.
Avatar m tn my 85 year old mother had a stroke a few days ago and on the 4th day she was asked to show her finger and she did she also squeeze my sisters finger and she nodded to a question she had a mild to big stroke affecting her left hand is this a good sign for recovery ?
Avatar n tn A 65% blockage of ICX should not produce the signs and symptoms you have provided. Generally, a blockage less than 70% is not considered appropriate for intervention according to the medical guidelines. The symptoms and signs indicate there is inadequate blood supply pumped into the system with each heart beat. You should get the numeric value of heart's pumping capacity expressed as EF (ejection fraction).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn It was very scary and I wondered if I might be having a heart attack or stroke. The pain subsided after about 3-5 minutes. I regained use of my right side after the incident. My blood pressure after this pain attack was 106/65. Heart rate was 52. It seems to me that those numbers would indicate that it wasn't a stroke or heart attack - especially since I'm fine now. My arm is a little sore, but I'm wondering if I'm just imagining the soreness.
Avatar f tn they set the machine for what they r looking for IE- use the machine with the right strength /magnification and then do certain slices and angles to look for damage or signs of stroke....and it is not that have no idea what to look for , they know or r considering it a possibility. I know this must be very difficult for u as well...
Avatar n tn My husband recently passed away from a hemorrhagic stroke. The doctor said hypertension was the cause. There seemed to be no warning signs except on the day it happened. He had a terrible headache and went downhill from there. He was taking all his medication--plavix, 325 mg of asprin, blood pressure medicine, etc. and was doing fine. He did have very bad back pain but finally got relief and was back to himself for a month and a half. This stroke came on so suddenly....
