Common Questions and Answers about Stroke symptoms hallucinations

stroke

Avatar f tn Hi, it’s unlikely its stroke. It could be a bad dream. And everybody has these occasional stressful dreams. But if they occur repeatedly or are interfering with your sleep schedules, you can consult a sleep specialist. It could be a nightmare disorder. This can be assessed by a sleep questionnaire and therapy is based on the severity of symptoms. Best Regards.
Avatar f tn My husband is 44 years old. He suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke on 7/3. He has movement on the left side but it is weak. He can speak, eat, talk. He has one more week of acute rehab left as an inpatient then he will follow-up with out-patient thearpy. The biggest problem I have been having is his mind is not the same. He remembers everyone and everything in the past. However, he adds new experiences that never took place today or in the past. He has hallucinations and paranoia.
Avatar m tn Hi, Any infection or blockage in your nose can cause you to smell something that is not there. Your symptoms could be due to olfactory hallucinations. Phantosmia most often occurs as a result of a head injury or upper respiratory infection. It can also be caused by temporal lobe seizures, sinusitis, brain tumors, migraine, Parkinson's disease and stroke. You may need proper evaluation by your GP, please consult him for a neurological assessment.
Avatar n tn Recently I was at my friends house for a social gathering and I experienced what I thought at the time was a mini stroke. Symptoms appeared out of nowhere and included drooping of facial muscles on left side of face, slurring and difficulty forming sentences, chest pain, visual hallucinations (including but not limited to room breathing i.e lights getting brighter and dimmer), as well as numbness of my limbs and face and trouble standing/dizziness.
354585 tn?1225913214 memory problems, insomnia symptoms, chronic pain, taste hallucinations, smell hallucinations, and twitchy feelings and weakness and paralysis in muscles are actually very characteristic of narcolepsy with cataplexy. In fact, often times, people don't have "Bells Palsy," but cataplexy. Viruses and some vaccines (namely the H1N1) can actually precipitate this, but it can happen seemingly in random fashion, too. Common misdiagnoses are depression, epilepsy, and migraines.
Avatar f tn If it is something that just started happening, I would go to the ER, and be evaluated for possible stroke. Are there any other symptoms? Headache, weakness on one side of body, facial drooping... If it is something that has been going on for longer, call primary doctor tomorrow morning and ask to talk to the nurse.
Avatar f tn My mother recently started feeling sick. She has a horrible pain in her lower left abdomen. Then she started acting 'drugged'.I thought it was a stroke or something, so I took her to the emergency room. They said it was diverticulitis, and put her on TONS of antibiotics. 6 days later... She still goes in and out of acting 'drugged', and the weirdest part is her fever. It fluctuates between 97.9 & 101 back and forth often 15 minutes at a time.
Avatar n tn I am trying to figure this out also I am 32 and I had one of these er visits last april and yet another yesterday and they treated me like a stroke victim both times to tell me nothing is showing up on any ct mri or blood work it is just migrains I thought it was maby from my birth cotrol and smoking I was told it could be a possibility but no one is sure. I have had shingles and both times I had this happen I was on valtrex and I am trying to figure out if that has something to do with it.
Avatar n tn Hello, After fighting for months about his drinking my boyfriend finally decided to quit drinking alcohol. After not drinking for two days or so he got delirium tremens; hallucinations, sweating, tremors the whole works. Currently he is in the ER being treated and is slowly coming back to his old self. However, no one has told him as to why he ended up in the hospital, I figure if the doctors haven’t told him that I shouldn’t either.
Avatar m tn Understand your predicament. Besides, sinusitis, your symptoms could be due to olfactory hallucinations. Phantosmia most often occurs as a result of a head injury or upper respiratory infection. It can also be caused by temporal lobe seizures, brain tumors, migraine, Parkinson's disease and stroke. You may need proper evaluation by your GP, please consult him for a neurological assessment. He may then refer you to a neurologist if needed. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn How long ago was your stroke? What kind of stroke did you have? What does your doctor have to say about the migraines?
1745492 tn?1320198340 I have both auditory and visual hallucinations. This symptoms are starting to affect my sleep worse than ever now, and they are affecting my other health conditions. We don't have the money right now for me to get a sleep study done. Does anyone have an opinion? Does this sound like narcolepsy, just not as severe?
Avatar n tn These hallucinations are extremely vivid too, filling my entire field of view and transporting me to a completely different place. They also aren't abstract like LSD hallucinations or something, it's always a real place and a scenario I could actually be in. I can't really find any connection between these hallucinations. Once I'm in the city in the rain, once I am outside my house and another time I was just standing in front of my Computer doing nothing.
Avatar f tn apparently since christmas day she has been having hallucinations and stuff. i did not know this. i went over her house four days ago and she was not right. she was crying uncontolably and kept saying im sorry over and over again. it was unlike her to do this. then i called the ambulance and went to buffalo general hospital. my older sister told the doctors that she wanted them to rule out any physical reasons for her change in personality.
Avatar n tn He has slight swelling on the brain and was given oxygen at the hospital for several days.......are these hallucinations normal in his case?
Avatar m tn I would assume the hallucinations were related to the coke,as well as any paranoia & obscessive behaviors. But to answer your question, yes, you can have nasal damage from coke, esp with long term use. I am a medical professional, and I have seen this damage. The septum of the nose is usually the site that is affected the most, often causing a hole in the septum which requires surgical intervention.
Avatar n tn no your hallucinations are not caused by the seroquel! your illness may have induced the hallucinations, it is very common for bipolar patients to experience these types of hallucinations the lamectical is know to cause Abnormal Dreams, Insomnia, Hypnagogic Hallucination call your doctor for an immediate appointment, you were not having these side effects before you introduced the lamectal, so your doctor would be the one who can work that out also check out http://www.adawebsite.
403156 tn?1290150018 Has anyone experienced hallucinations while not being entirely depressed or manic? I have been diagnosed as BP II for almost 3 years and have never experienced hallucinations until now. I feel like I see things in my peripheral vision that are really not there. I have also occasionally heard things as well. Mood wise, I feel very stable. So this is completely alarming.
Avatar f tn m a 31 year old woman with epilepsy, hypothyroidism, hypertension, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (with LOTS of edema, a damaged spine, poly cystic ovarian syndrome and fibromyalgia. Now some very odd symptoms have begun to occur. One morning a few days ago, I woke up practically unable to walk...I've been a belly dancer for 16 years. My balance and coordination have been a pride of mine. Well, this time I fell, and caught myself against the wall with my forehead.
Avatar f tn I have had migraines for over 3 years since my stroke which the neurologists seem to think were caused by my stroke. And I have since read many posts from others who have migraines after their strokes. But there are many treatments that the doctors can do. You need to find a headache specialist or at least a neurologist.
1704542 tn?1307505584 large brain lesion found. Stroke and Lymes disease ruled out. Lumbar puncture performed: abnormal results 3 months after initial "attack", shooting pains started in hand and feet, progressively got more frequent and worse. Cognitive skills deteriorating. Memory, getting "lost" in my hometown. Forgetting easier than ever! I scheduled an appt with my neurologist after weeks of extreme fatigue shooting pains and fear.
Avatar m tn Your symptoms may not be related to the antibiotic therapy. Your symptoms could be due to olfactory hallucinations. Phantosmia most often occurs as a result of a head injury or upper respiratory infection. It can also be caused by temporal lobe seizures, sinusitis, brain tumors, migraine, Parkinson's disease and stroke. You may need proper evaluation by your GP, please consult him for a neurological assessment. He may then refer you to a neurologist if needed.
Avatar m tn Lyme disease can cause olfactory [smell] hallucinations -- I have had them. The ENT (ear/nose/throat) MD I saw didn't know what it was, but my Lyme dr did. They come and go. However, if you don't have any of the other signs or symptoms of Lyme, then I would think the likelihood that you have Lyme is low. However, I'm not a doctor, so can't say for sure.
