stroke symptoms neck

Has anybody experienced stroke symptoms? All day Saturday my left arm was kinda numb and tingling and the that night out of no where the tingling went up my neck to my face, my lips and tongue went numd, got hot and my heart was beating fast...laid down and it went away.

My fiancé is experiencing left arm & neck pain as well as feeling hot & dizzy does anyone know if these symptoms could be associated with the fact that he has anxiety?

May I ask what your stroke symptoms were? I fear I will have one due to these daily symptoms imhaving...tthanks for helping me.

Should ever experience these symptoms collectively, get yourself to an ER immediately because some the damage done by a stroke can be reversed if anti-coagulants are administered within 3 - 4hrs of the clot developing. The anti-coagulant, in and of itself, is a potent drug, so the ER would thoroughly vet you before administering it--which will include a check-up by the neurologist on call. I'm not a doctor, but judging by your post, I doubt you're having a stroke...

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..

I was just hopeing that some one can tell me some of the symptoms of Ms. I was in the hospital due to stroke like symptoms spend a few days there and had many heart test done, come to find out that I did not have a stroke , well that's a good thing I thought. And then a Neuro came in to see me, and told me that on my MRI he had seen somethings that he was not happy with, He said I think you might have Ms, and that he wanted to do a few more test.

Alex- Hi-- The neurologist I saw was recommended by a friend as a second choice- the first choice doctor - there was a 2 month wait as opposed to the 5 week wait I had. I'm not sure what he specializes in, but he did tell me it was possible I had a hemiplegic migraine- and he's sending me to a stroke center because he says he's not sure how else to help me since my symptoms are lingering - numbness, etc.-- but no physical sign of stroke.

t go to the hospital the night I think I had this TIA or stroke is that my neck injury causes alot of the same problems (spasms, pain, partial paralysis of hands, bad headaches, numbness, tingling and difficulty moving my left arm, with and without pain) and I didn't think about it being anything else until the results of the CT scan came in.

Entered the hospital with stroke symptoms sent there by family doctor some damage on left side but was told it was not a stroke, blood pressure to high to take clot busting drug, stayed in the hospital for nine days left with headache and dizziness and pain in my neck off and on. have been back to ER with stroke symptoms this time was given clot buster drug everything returned to normal headache was gone for two days but came back still dizzy it didn't leave they found no sign of stroke.

As soon as she started blood thinners, her symptoms went away. The doctors said she had a stroke because an artery in her spinal cord was being squished by a bone in her neck. Has anyone else had this problem? The doctors say that surgery is inevitable. Are there any other options?

Hi, MSers, I think its' so interesting that not long after I visited the ER with stroke symptoms (which the ER MD thought could be MS) I received the MSAA's summer edition of their magazine, "The MSAA Motivator" in which in their "Ask The Doctor" section they discussed "can MS Lesions Mimic a Stroke?" It's almost like they were speaking directly to me!!

Being that you have a history of HTN (high blood pressure), you are definitely at high risk for a TIA/Stroke. You could have possibly have had a TIA/Stroke. Secondly, with a blood pressure that elevated and symptoms, please go immediately to the ER; don't try to treat yourself at home; bad idea.

s suggestion for a certain remedy for stroke symptoms and had prepared well in advance. I raced to my kitchen where, still on the shelf (despite my underaged-20-year-old's frequent leering and requests for a "sample") remained an unopened bottle of whiskey and a bottle of Starbucks' coffee latte. I quickly got those bottles opened and mixed coffee and whiskey together in a mug. Down it went along with some aspirin. I kept drinking it until the paramedics arrived.

A friend of mine just had an endoscopic cervical discectomy and as a result suffered a vertebral artery occlusion. Less than 24 hours after being released from the hospital he experienced dizziness, weakness in his right side and numbness in his face. He returned to the ER where they admitted him and performed an MRI that showed the occlusion. Basically, he had a mini stroke or tia but Dr's said no damage to the cerebellum. He was released and ordered to take aspirin.

So there was actual damage done from the stroke? Do you now have permanent symptoms because of the stroke, or did they subside? I kept arguing with them telling them something was going on inside my head/neck, but they kept focusing on my heart. Even then, they wouldn't do an MRI or MRA, and the only CT scan they did was of my brain, no contrast, so they wouldn't have seen anything blocking bloodflow. Same with the ultrasound on my neck.

I am 41 yrs old and I just had a nuclear stress, echocardiogram, and a 24hr holter done. everything was negative. so I was fine, a friend of mine just had a massive stroke at 42 he is in a coma. What test do I need to take to prevent a stroke or the test I already took give an indication. They did run the echo up and down my neck why?

There would not be any evidence of stroke in her bloodwork. Who told you that? You look at the signs and symptoms. Not the darned bloodwork and MRI. I would have had your internists licence...well I'll stop...let's just say he was working abiove his pay grade and should have referred you to a stroke center instantly. Who told you "there is no evidence of stroke"? Obviously he recieved medical training in lower Ghana, and served in internship in Nigeria.

Hi i am 33 and had never really suffered with headaches, but about a month ago went into casualty thinking i was having a stroke because out of the blue got zig zag lines and partial blindness followed by a bad headache, then a couple of days ago got it again out of the blue, i do suffer with anxiety and neck tension quite a bit but do worry as my mum died from a stroke at only 41, what is suddenly causing them?

Agony in neck - if i move my neck to fast or in an awkawrd position, i get excruciating pain from my neck to my shoulder on the left side of my body and i have to keep perfectly still untill it calms. I'd appreciate any help, my GP did prescribe me some medication which I can't remember the name of, but I stopped taking it as it made me too aggressive and anxious. I am thinking it is to do with stress as I am revising a hell of a lot for important exams and trying to find work etc.

I have had a sore spot around my spin in the base of my neck since my symptoms (lightheadedness and blurred vision) started in December. My husband massages my neck when it gets really tight, and has noticed a popping feeling lately. I have also felt it when I message it. I have never been to a chiropractor, and haven’t felt comfortable with it, but someone highly recommended a local doctor.

ll notice that my right pupil is larger than the left. Should I be worried that these are like stroke symptoms or something else? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi, after stroke based on neuronal damage, some symptoms can persist. The headaches could be the side effects of the medications you are taking. Migraines are intense headaches sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting and altered visual sensations. The others are those caused due to brain disorders, disorders of the eyes , neck or ears to name a few. To find a cure you need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment. In the meantime you can take OTC Ibuprofen pain medication.
