Common Questions and Answers about Stroke causes death

stroke

Avatar f tn Back in October my diabetic mother had a stroke on the right side of her brain. I want to know what exactly caused her to pass away. Was it the fact that she couldn't eat, being that she was a diabetic, eventually causing her to go into a coma and die or does the stroke itself do something like hinder her from breathing . Was there something that made her stop breathing because of the stroke itself?
Avatar f tn Female-44years old. My MRI images of the brain reveal a few small focal signal abnormalities seen within the periventricular white matter on my left side of brain. The right side of my body is weak. Is it likely that I'll have a stroke soon or in the near future? If so, what are the causes? I want to know how prevent a stroke or any other disaster related to the white matter from happening to me.
Avatar f tn Stroke is a very common cause of paralysis and death. Even otherwise healthy people can have a stroke. Stroke is not directly related to the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but brain damage could be worsened when COPD resulted in low oxygen levels. What you describe suggests that on the day your father was to be discharged, the clot or bleeding in his brain quickly worsened or extended to other parts of his brain, possibly related with a flare-up of his COPD.
Avatar n tn My mother suffered a watershed stroke during or after cardiac surgery 7 years ago. She is still paralyzed on her right side but regained other skills through my constant care and talking about memories she had lost. She is now 88 and her short-term memory is failing. My question is regarding mood swings. Does this type of stroke affect one's ability to manage anger? She is almost bi-polar with me and I don't always see the change coming.
562734 tn?1216199186 I'm so sorry. :-( Without an autopsy, there is just no way of knowing for certain what the cause of death is. My own best guess would be a stroke or heart attack, but I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could have killed just as quickly. Did your Dal ever have any kind of symptoms leading up to his collapse?
Avatar m tn There are many causes, some very serious such as small stroke, aneurysm, brain tumor. He needs to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist as soon as possible and if shows signs of stroke or other concerning changes needs to go to emergency room or call ambulance. Sudden double vision is a very serious symptom.
Avatar n tn I just got my results from an mri i had done about a month ago and it says mild periventricular white matter micro-ischemic changes..I am scared to death and freaking out... Could that mean I had a small stroke or the starting of ms????
Avatar f tn What causes prostatomegaly(enlarged prostate)...is caused by a urinary infection or is it caused by HORMONE IMBALANCE? Is it caused by a STD?
8016255 tn?1396293364 s probably common in the US that autopsies are not performed on elderly or chronically ill individuals whose exact cause of death is not known but who obviously died of natural causes. The cause of death can be labeled as something like, "cardiopulmonary arrest" (which does not mean a heart attack; it simply means that the heart and lungs stopped). I believe this may be done in situations in which there does not seem to be any legal or medical need for an autopsy.
Avatar m tn Such a shock and heartbreaking when this happens. Could have been heart, stroke, etc. Unfortunately, unless you get a necropsy done, you will probably not know the cause. Hugs.

Avatar n tn I guess I just want to know what happened to him and what exactly happened to him to cause his death? Was it a stroke possibly? Ischemia to the brain? What would cause him to throw up blood, have blood come from his nose and eyes and not be awake for over 24 hours.
Avatar n tn Hopefully someone get give me and my family some direction and feedback on this subject. We just lost our mother last week to a massive stroke that led to her death. We now believe this is a result of some complication from a cardio ablation she had on May 7 and a cardio version on May 14 as well as neglect to some lingering symptoms following these procedures.
Avatar m tn Just suffered from major stroke 2 months ago. Was just wondering if anyone had information or experience with the drug, Neuroaid.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Anginal pain can be controlled with medications if diagnosed on time. If left untreated it can lead to serious consequences like stroke and even death. Do consult a doctor immediately. You need urgent medical attention and investigations like X-ray chest, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram. I do hope it helps. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn She went back to a home and 3 months ago was put onto respirdal for apparent behavior issues(that in my opinion exaggerated to obtain funding by issuing drugs) she has just had a stroke which in Janssen consumer information states the drug causes stroke, tardive dyslexia, behavior changes, sleeplessness and agitation. The doctors will not remove her from respirdal and my mother is dying. A victim of a system that supports billion dollar pharmaceutical companies.
Avatar f tn what does sinus arrhythmia non specific intraventricular conduction delay mean?what is its causes? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/409489'>abnormal ekg</a>.
Avatar f tn Unless the pressure is relieved, the brain will continue to swell until it pushes down onto the brain steam, which then damages the RAS, which subsequently affects blood pressure and breathing control centers.Lack of oxygen even for 4-6 minutes causes death or ischaemia of that portion of the brain.Hence the person may become brain dead in a couple of minutes if the edema is uncontrollable. There is a Glasgow coma scale which is used for the assessment of brain injury and stroke patients.
Avatar f tn he has been suffering from erectile disfunction since his stroke in 2004. My mother in-law is concerned about his penis because it is reseeding in, to the point that when he needs to use the washroom that his wife needs to help with they both have a difficult time trying to get it out in time since he has little controll over is bladder. I was wondering what causes this and if there is anything that can help him.
4784361 tn?1401231107 My dogs name was Reese. He was about 15 years old, a golden retriever german shepherd mutt, maybe. We aren't really sure. Last night, around 1 am, he starting crying, and he couldn't get up. This was sort of normal, because he has a bit of arthritis and it's been very cold here recently. But he was having more and more trouble than normal. He defecated in the living room, which has never happened in the last 14 years he's been with us. He was very well house trained.
