but that do not meet the radiographic criteria for definition as a Chiari malformation. The currently accepted radiographic definition for a Chiari malformation is that cerebellar tonsils lie at least 5mm below the level of the foramen magnum. Some clinicians have reported that some patients appear to experience symptoms consistent with a Chiari malformation without radiographic evidence of tonsillar herniation.
Thanks for the link, but it seems that particular discussion is about headaches brought on by bowel movements more than anything else. I don't have or get a headache from or after my bowel movements.
I'm interested in knowing what the technical definition of "constipation" is when discussing the increased risk, if any, related to heart attacks.
Why were you put on Plavix in the beginning... for heart attack or stroke? Absolutely going off of it can lead to a mini-stroke/TIA, but going odd wont CAUSE one. Unfortunately you have to go off before a biopsy as it makes your blood thinner and there is too much risk of bleeding. Don't worry too much about the TIA, most have no long standing effects unless you have a LOT of them. So you want to go back on the Plavix and DON'T miss any doses! It should work right away.
Should I refrain from driving if they are not able to pin-point the problem that caused me to black-out? What is the difference in having a stroke (and accident) and then driving again. Just because you had one stroke does not mean you will absolutely have another???
My 58 year old husband had a stroke last Sunday. We were let out of the hospital last night with no instructions, warnings or anything. Any sugestions? I am terrified. What next?
My father has COPD and one month ago due to brain stroke ( stroke coverd his right side) he got paralised in LHS. suddnly his COPD attack increses and he put in to artificial ventilation. but within 32 hours he got out of it. After that he live nicely but every 2-3 days he got spazum and needed to gave oxygen supply with bipap. Doctor (Chest Specialist) was always telling that his lungs are weak but not that much which causes frequent spazum.
After almost a year, I have had all relevant tests [according to Neurologist]. All I have been told is that I have had strokes. He has dismissed MS as a diagnosis, he says this is because the LP, Evoked Potentials and scan of carotid arteries were all normal. He appears to have not taken into account the physical and neurological symptoms that I am still experiencing. I have been discharged from his clinic! And feel that he has been very dismissive.
What is the definition of acute Atrial fibrillation? Is it related to duration or symptoms?
How the atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate should be treated in hemodynamically stable patients? What are the choices available?
How the patient with acute ischemic stroke & atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate should be treated? Will the medicines controlling the heart rate not lower down the blood pressure, resulting in worsening of stroke?
my dad thinks it may have been a stroke related to defribulating heart problems. since then i decided to smoke weed one time and my heart started beating out of my chest and it was definately not in rythym. im only 18 years old and i thought i was living a fairly healthy life. whats wrong with me?
On day 1 after my April 7 right eye cataract surgery and continuing unchanged to date, I have had blurred vision. The blur does not meet the "usual" definition. For lack of a better word, the blurriness is crescent shaped going from the bottom through the center to the top of my field of vision. The vision is not blank, but blurred, so that I can no longer make out images/letters.
Retina detachment, macular degeneation, optic issues all seem to have been ruled out.
I am a 37 year old woman who works out consistently and is in good shape. Recently, I have had these episodes in which it feels like my heart pauses and starts up again. My heart beats really quickly then it alomost hiccups back into a normal rhythm. I am very busy and I am so afraid I am going to die from a stroke or a heart attack. When this happens, it really scares me. Plus my heart flutters when I am under stress or working out.
You need to do cardio at least every day! 30-40 minutes. You also need to do strength training at least two times per week. Eat small meals at least five to six times a day. Women can keep their metabolisms running more efficiently and burn more fat and calories throughout the day by spacing meals and snacks three to four hours apart.
So does that mean "YES" to the definition of casual contact includes the possibility of the body part being contaminated with infectious fluids"?
I guess that would've saved you quite a few key strokes! LOL...
The treatment for clots in the ventricle is warfarin. The clots usually become firm and do not embolize with time. If it is still soft clot, the warfarin will help to slowly reduce the size of it. There isn't much else that needs to be done now.
I understand your concern about stroke. The longer you go on warfarin, the less likely you are to have a stroke from that source.
There were tons of people who answered another question that may have been on a different website who had had strokes in their 20's and sometimes even younger.
By any chance was your stroke a carotid artery dissection? This one is the most common one for people ages 30-60 which is also considered young for a stroke. And what generally causes it is trauma from a car accident, chiropractic treatment, sneezing, coughing, or just spontaneously for no reason.
I had what they call a stroke - it was caused by burst aneurisms in my brain. It took 9 surgeries and finally a shunt in my head. That was September. What I want to know is, is it 'normal' to feel pressure and sometimes a 'giddy' feeling? Apparently my brain will take at least a year to 'heal'. I am doing really well, but my head feels this way, and my neck where the shunt tube goes swells..
Elevated MPV basically means that your platelets are larger than "normal" -- which can be because your body has recently made new platelets, and by definition, "young" platelets are larger than "mature" platelets. As the platelets mature, the size shrinks and the MPV will likely decrease.
