stroke

Avatar n tn A women is having symptoms of a stroke but test come back negative of no stroke, what is the cause of the stroke symptoms?
Avatar m tn What I would be worried about is stroke. Can she talk normally? Is she confused? If you ask her to repeat a sentence does she slur her words or does it sound normal? Does she have a bad headache? Can she lift the arm that is numb? If she can't talk normally or can't lift her arm and so forth then she may be having a stroke and you have to take her into the Emergency Room right away. Diabetes can increase her risk for a stroke as well and also peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage.
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 If your cycles are short by a couple of days, it would be around day 12 of your cycle or if it is long say 30 days long, it would be around day 16. Around cycle day (CD) 8 or 9, I start watching for signs. You can use ovulation predictor kits or watch your cervical mucus (CM) which will get sticky and clear like egg whites just before ovulation. I also check my cervix which sounds weird but is a great indicator if you check it every month and know how your cervix works.
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 My 86 year old mother just came out of the hospital on Friday after being in for ten days due to a "mini-stroke" (TIA). It was the fifth one she has had since suffering a major stroke in 2007. Tonight she started bleeding; not heavy but enough to saturate her Depends underwear. I have noticed some very light spotting in the past, but only about once a month. The cause of this is puzzling me. I guess the doctor needs to be seen. Any advice?
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....
Avatar m tn 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 n tn I've had an intermittent tingling in my ear and on my face for several days. It lasts 20-30 seconds though it sometimes turns to mild pain and also sometimes includes my jaw and cheekbone. It's mostly on the right side of my face, though I've felt some on the left side as well. I've seen two doctors who couldn't identify it. I have no other symptoms. No headache, nausea, muscle weakness, bels palsy or any of the other signs of stroke. I'm 38 and otherwise healthy.

Avatar n tn can a stroke be faked, or caused by drug abuse and is it normal for the flacicity to come and go randomly sometimes with in 10 min or so.
Avatar f tn s the most painful thing you will go through in your entire life (most women, at least.) There are pain relief options that can help make it tolerable, however, and even enjoyable but I won't lie...it will hurt. You can do it though, you have to...too late to back out now since you worked so hard to get pregnant. Every woman's pregnancy is different, but generally around 8wks a woman starts to get nauseous...
Avatar n tn I didn't know anything about strokes before I had mine, two years ago at just past my 51st birthday! I always thought that only old people had strokes and certainly the NHS locally is set up for the over 65's, there's no information available for younger people who've had strokes. I'd like to see a big publicity campaign on TV advising people what the general symptoms of stroke are and what you should do about it.
2005895 tn?1327721790 A MRI will definately show signs of a stroke. I had a cat scan and it showed nothing until I had a MRI and it showed a brainstem stroke. Take slow steps and slow movements for everything she does and it will get better.
Avatar f tn in the sense of symptoms of a stroke and stroke warning as signs of a pathology that could lead eventually to a stroke. the only way that could indicate higher risk of stroke is that it was caused by a vascular problem, but you should have a bit more going on I guess. it also depends on your age. maybe it was caused by sudden sun exposure. why are you worried about having a stroke, do you have other symptoms? is there someone in your family who's had a stroke?
Avatar f tn I am at 25 year old women was born at 25 weeks premature in 1989 weighing 1 pound.
Avatar m tn 00 PM and it came back clear. Hestarted feeling better until 9:00 PM when his right arm started going numb and the tingling in his right foot came back and his speach became slurred. The ER continued to watch him and and at 5:00 AM the next morning decided to transfer him to a large hospital in Kansas City. The medical team in KC ran tests and scheduled an MRI. At 6:30 PM they cnducted the MRI.
620048 tn?1358018235 There are signs that something is a stroke that the medical personnel recognize immediately , the clues they use spell FAST F = face, is one side drooping? is there a dramatic changes? A= arms. can the person lift their arms and keep them equal? If one drifts downward, that may be a sign of a stroke. S= speech. Is the speech slurred or doesn't make sense? T = remember that TIME is so imporatant.
Avatar n tn If you think there is a possibility that you have an STI, then you get to the doc ASAP. Women often don't show signs of having chlamydia (beg ure pardon if u arent a woman) but if you feel something isn't right-no matter what it is-get to the doc and don't chance your health. Whatever damage is done to your body, with an STI, can not be reversed. All the more reason to go because you don't want it there another day wreaking havoc. Get to a doc.
