stroke
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.
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.
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..
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.
Myocardial infarction pain is characteristically crushing retrosternal chest pain which may move to arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area or back. This can be squeezing, lasting for 20 minutes. Rest and nitroglycerin may help relieve the pain to some extent. Other symptoms are anxiety, cough, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath etc. your doctor would like to check the cardiac enzymes like troponin and CPK, CPK MB.
i was in a car accident 13 yrs ago with lots of soft-tissue pain in my neck, on the right side (but supposedly no other damage to my neck, only verified by x-ray). this event occurred after i had already started having the limb pain with my headaches/migrain s.
Were the limb pains always associated with headaches?
yes.
Are the limb pains always on the right side?
yes.
Do the pains involve the joints ( neck,knees, elbows , shoulders wrist and digits)?
not usually my knees and elbows.
hI, relax, it has nothing to do with stroke. What you are experiencing is probably tension headache or pain of cervical spondylosis. Try pain killers, caffeine along with sedative for symptomatic relief.
Please consult doctor or get the X ray cervical spine done to rule out cervical pathology. Avoid thick pillows too and also get your blood pressure checked.
I would rather die at 40 than put my family in the street. I just want to know if these are serious symptoms of heart or stroke, so I can make sure my wife or kids don't find daddy dead in the hall or something, I'm ready to go somewhere and let it happen to protect my family's finances.
Any advise would be great.
I laid down and started getting this prickly/tingly feelings in the back of my head, neck, and down my right arm. I had slight chest pain and then a shortness of breath. I sat up immediately and began choking gasping for air. I felt really dizzy and didn't want to stand up. I waited a few minutes and when I went to stand was a little off balanced. Since then the right side of the back of my neck, right arm has been sore and a little stiff.
Thank you for the response Dr. Sharma. He did experience a tia within 24 hours of surgery that was recognized by the MRI when he went back to the hospital. The only symptoms he's experiencing right now are headache, neck pain and continued weakness in the affected arm. The surgeon relayed that these symptoms are normal after surgery and that it is highly unlikely that he would suffer another tia or stroke due to the occlusion.
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?

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, since I haven't been diagnosed with anything besides HBP recently. I'm 38 & female, & have always been pretty healthy. I'm going to start off with when I think it all started. I was driving home & had a throbbing pain on the left side of my neck, then my left arm got tingly/numb. I felt o.k. after I got home, about 10 min. later, other than wondering if I had a stroke or something.
I am a 49 yr old female, who smokes, no Hypertension or diabetes, I have had all symptoms of Stroke/TIA, I had radiating pain down L arm, numbing/tingling up L side of face, profuse sweating, dizziness, I also had slight pain across jaw, no weakness though, this has happened more than one time, all of my test come out negative, is that normal for a TIA that nothing shows? I am afraid that when or if I have a stroke, that will be it since everything comes up negative.
ve been reading it could be what is called Central Post Stroke Pain (CPSP) or Thalamic Pain Syndrome. There are several treatments that seem to help but you should seek your neurologist.
A combination of low dose amitriptyline (10 - 50 mg at night) plus gabapentin (300 - 1800 mg per day) or pregabalin (50 - 600 mg per day) produces the best pain relief with the lowest incidence of side effects.
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.
