mini stroke in ear

I am 78 and had a mini stroke 11 Jun 2014. I was placed in the hospital for overnight observation and was released the following day to my family doctor. I have high blood pressure so he placed me on Exforge 10-325-25mg HCT and also Clopidogrel 75mg In the hospital I had a MRA, MRI, CATSCAN, Chest Xray and several blood tests. I lost peripheral vision in the left eye. When I left the hospital I had this slight lump across from my left ear about 1 inch long pointing to the top of my head.

Is it possible that without me realizing it that I may have had a mini stroke and not know it or am I over reacting? Since then my blood pressure has been 150/90.

Suddenly felt unwell. Ringing in right ear. Temporary hearing loss in right ear. Dizziness. Stood up and completely lost my balance like drunkenness. Thought I was dying. Recovered a few minutes later.

Although a stroke can manifest as a transient visual disturbance, that is relatively unusual. But something is going on, and you best have it checked out. Anything having to do with vision is VERY important. You cannot be turned down for medical assistance in the event of possible blindness because of financial reasons. If it happens? Good! Take them to court! (Just make sure that you sue for the cost of a chauffer).

Hi, how old are you and do you have history of hypertension? This could be TIA or mini stroke, anxiety, high blood pressure etc. Best will be get your blood pressure checked along with MRI to rule out mini stroke. At least for once get blood lipid profile done along with blood sugar.Take care!

I'm glad your husband's BP is coming down. I am not a doctor, so I have no idea what could have happened. Maybe a mini-stroke? I just don't know, sorry. Was he on BP meds BEFORE this happened? What is he taking now? I'll keep him in my prayers...

Could it be a stroke? Those are the symptoms as far as I am aware? You should see the doctor to be safe.

So me not thinking googles and I read that migraines and strokes can be related. That it could be a mini stroke or you can have one after the migraine. So I am freaking out bad. I have kinked muscles in my neck and I think that is where it originated but I am losing it!!! Can anyone talk me down?

Often oxygen-rich blood cannot be supplied adequately to the brain, causing the symptoms of a mini stroke. In severe cases, increased pressure can cause the arteries in the brain to rupture and cause a hemorrhagic (bleed) stroke. All the best to your mom http://www.savingthebrain.

I saw lights flashing beofre my eyes and and a loud buzz in my ear. Afterwards, my speech was slurred. I knew I was having a stroke, due to the symptons. I just couldn't believe it. It is now three weeks later and I have recuperated fully but I am so at a loss. No one can tell me what happened. What do I do? Do I just sit back, take my asprin and wait for it to happen again. What should I do?

He also had a stroke in 98 but was diagnosed with carprotunal at first. In 99 he could not say the simple word shirt. I took him to the ER right away. Sure enough he had a stroke. Years later we were told he may have had a very small portion of plack break away in his aorta causing his stroke. After an MRI several mini stroke scars were also discovered. Stents is a much more simple procedure than 4 bypass repairs.

I was just wondering, what do you do during a mini stroke? Do you get up and start walking around to get the blood flow going, (that's what I do), or do you sit down and relax? It's crazy that this mini stroke came back into my life! I had it come and go for about six months when I was younger back in 2006. When it happened back then, my whole right side of my body was paralyzed.

Fluid in the middle ear can cause dizziness symptoms due to adjoining inner ear. You need to keep your sinuses dry and clear by steam inhalation, decongestants, and blowing out the secretions. An antibiotic is needed if the secretions are infected. Consult an otolaryngologist and a physician for your symptoms. Best wishes.

These findings indicate white matter ischemic changes which can occur normally in old age. They may not necessarily indicate stroke as they are non specific. Other causes can be high BP, Diabetes, chronic headache, migraine, smoking and chronic alcoholism. Hope this helps!

I've had a scan a few weeks ago and they've discovered a brain cyst but they said that it has probably been there since my childhood. I have had headaches as long as i can remember. But my question is that for a few months now i have buzzing sound in both ears, or when i cover my ears it seems to be inside my head and not in my ears. I wanted to know if this sound was linked to my brain cyst? And what about my headaches, is it linked as well to the brain cyst.

Hello dear, You probably had a Transient Ischaemic Attack or a mini stroke caused by the temporary disturbance of blood supply to a restricted area of the brain, resulting in brief neurologic dysfunction that usually persists for less than 24 hours.The most frequent symptoms include temporary loss of vision ; difficulty speaking (aphasia); weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis); and numbness or tingling (paresthesia), usually on one side of the body.

But i am like this 24/7 and have been for 11 days now.. Tho i have developed a constant humming sound in my ear worse when in a quiet room... never had that at the begining I have took my meds last night this morning and now this afternoon and have had no relief either...
