Common Questions and Answers about Stroke headache numbness

stroke

Avatar n tn I went to ER again a week after the stroke for a bad headache.(which I had severely with my stroke) But, they treated for a headache. I have had Carpal Tunnel ruled out for the tingling of hand. Anyway, I am not a Dr. this is just what happened with me. I would say it is normal for now.
Avatar n tn The headache persisted for 7 days and disappeared the following sunday morning. I am still left with numbness, loss of feeling and weakness (my right side is 50% weaker than on my left). My blood work showed i am heterozygous for mthfr 1298 and 677. but they have not yet tested for homocysteine. They said that feeling should start coming back but it hasn't at all. Migraine has been ruled out because the Hemiparesis has persisted.

1716541 tn?1308849832 The most concerning cause of numbness on one side is a stroke. Please understand I am not trying to imply your son had a stroke, but only that this is one possibility. Strokes occur predominantly in people with risk factors: smokers, high cholesterol, diabetics, hypertensives, and people over the age of 55. However, they can occur in any age. If his numbness was due to a stroke, it would start somewhat suddenly (over minutes) and would likely persist without significant improvement.
Avatar n tn My mom is having numbness in her face and on one side of her body. It started a couple hours ago and has not gone away yet. She worked out last night and she thinks maybe she pinched a nerve but could it be more?
Avatar n tn There is a good possibility that you suffered from stroke as suggested by your symptoms of loss of vision, numbness and electric shock like sensations in the arms. Also white matter lesion in the brain can occur in stroke. CSF myelin basic protein is a non specific measurement and is seen in inflammatory and destructive conditions of brain. It is not specific for MS. Please go ahead with the stroke referral and let us know if you have any other questions.
Avatar m tn Yesterday I had bad frontal headache. Along with this my left eye had the feeling of a slight eye allergy/puffiness. Today the headache is mostly gone except for a little on my left. However the eye situation is a little worse. There's a tad bit of a tingle/numbness from left eye, through my left cheek bone, down to my left side jaw. Could this be signs of some kind of stroke? Or is it more the signs of some allergy?
Avatar f tn I woke up two days ago and the right side of my body (from my shoulder to the toes) has gone numb. More percisely, my skin is numb. I do not have any numbness on my face and my vision is fine. I do not feel any weakness either. I have been tired for about a month but figure that is from the new job but maybe I was wrong. I sleep on my right side or my stomach. I do have a dull pain in my right hip but it is the kind of pain that I wouldn't even register if not for the numbness ..
Avatar n tn The symptoms of dizziness, headache, progressive memory loss and tingling numbness on one side of the body can be the symptoms of stroke. How old are you? Do you have any risk factor for stroke like high BP, obesity, high cholesterol and smoking etc? There are other possibilities also like MS. However nothing can be said for sure without a neurological exam. I would suggest you to push for a CT scan earlier than 6 weeks. Do keep us posted!
Avatar m tn Try to determine the possible triggers of your headache. There is a headache tracker here in Medhelp that may help. Finding the triggers may help avoid recurrences of headache. Do keep us posted with your appointment. Take care and best regards.
Avatar f tn Originally I was told that the problem was a vitamin d deficiency but the problem persisted after. Recently I was admitted to the ER with stroke like symptoms including a severe headache with the numbness in the same two limbs on my right side. My CT Scan and MRI came up mostly normal revealing only what doctors called a childhood injury but had healed significantly and was probably not what was causing the severe headache.

Avatar f tn As for aura you can have non visual auras like pins and needles, numbness and even some weakness, tongue numbness etc., the aura usually precedes the headache but sometimes can last, but I don't think it would last for 3 weeks, but maybe I am getting repeated migraines.? Wish there was a headache expert who could answer my questions. I have tried on the migraine forum.

Also, I feel cramp like pains in my skull, nausea and lightheadedness. My upper back also hurts.

Avatar n tn Hello, last week I took the perscribed Migraine Maxalt for the first time for a headache. I awoke in the middle of the night with heart palpitations, an anxious feeling, and numbness (pins and needles) on the right side of my body (in my arm, hand, leg, and foot). I also had a cold feeling in my left hand down to my fingertips. I awoke in the morning with a pain in the left side of my neck which subsided within 5 minutes or so. The numbness in my left arm did not go away however.
Avatar m tn However, they can occur in any age. If your numbness was due to a stroke, it would start somewhat suddenly (over minutes) and would likely persist without significant improvement. Also, you would have changes on the MRI to suggest a stroke. Other potential causes include multiple sclerosis, a brain tumor, a vascular malformation and others. These too would have been seen on the MRI.
Avatar m tn If your numbness was due to a stroke, it would start somewhat suddenly (over minutes) and would likely persist without significant improvement. Other potential causes include multiple sclerosis, a brain tumor, a vascular malformation and others. Transient one-sided body numbness (lasting for example for minutes up to 30 minutes then resolving) could be due to a migraine (the aura of migraine, in which case following the numbness, a headache occurs) or seizures.

Avatar f tn It develops suddenly or over a period of 48 hours and is associated with facial numbness, headache, change in taste and a crooked smile or slurred speech. The cause of Bell's palsy is unknown but it is often point to a viral infection. Have this evaluated further or be referred to a neurologist for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Last summer, for several days, I experienced severe headaches before I arose in the mornings. I have no history of headache problems. Along with this I developed tingling and numbness in my left hand/arm. I had an MRI of my brain, which showed abnormal proteins in the brain. A visit to a nuerologist was next, but he had a speech impediment and was difficult to understand. I know he said that these proteins could only be caused by three things, coming from my heart or spine. . .
Avatar f tn My husband went to the ER with a very bad headache, slurring speech and paralysis on the right side of his body. They originally thought it was a stroke, but ruled that out. Now they are calling it a “Complicated Migraine” which has the same signs of stroke. It’s been two days and he still does not have all the feeling in his arms and legs. Is this normal?
