stroke symptoms pregnancy

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.

Had a pregnancy stroke (due to toxemia/hypertension) and seizure when I was 18. No effects from either. It is now 17 years later and I had some dizziness so I had an MRI done in March 2008. The findings from the MRI at age 18 (1992): lateral ventricles are slightly large for someone at this age 2 to 2.5 cm wedge shaped area of low density involving the right superolateral frontal cortex consistent with an infarct there.

Enjoy every moment and be grateful everyday you will miss it I promise you and this is coming from someone who had a difficult pregnancy and almost a stroke because my blood pressure sky rocketed

told me the most dangerous time for pregnant stroke survivors is the first 6wks of pregnancy and 6wks after delivery b/c that is when the estrogen in your body is going crazy!!

Oh and after my stroke all I think about most of the time is of the stroke, having another stroke, or dying due to a stroke. I guess I am traumatized now. Does anyone else suffer from this?

I am not trying to scare you but a stroke is rather serious. Do some research and if you think the symptoms match up force her to see a doctor. whether she believes in them or not this could save her from having a more serious stroke, which could do anything from paralyzing one side of the body or even death. I'm sorry to scare or worry. As I said, I may be wrong, this is only a best guess from a college student, who works with children and took a first aid and cpr course.

Certain medical conditions need to be considered like a transient ischemic attack, stroke, alzheimer’s disease and depression. Once stroke and TIA are ruled out, she may be assessed by a psychiatrist depending on the protocols in the hospital. Take care.

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.

Hello, I'm wondering if my symptoms are indicative of a mild stroke. I've had this same thing happen a couple of times over the last decade, with varying severity, the most recent incident being two weeks ago. I went to sleep with a headache and woke up extremely dizzy, hoping a couple more hours of sleep would make it go away, which it did not. A headache persisted for the next two days and after it was finally gone the mild dizziness and general weakness has persisted ever since.

stopping alcohol intake can improve the ataxia but if it is severe, some permanent symptoms may remain. In patients with cerebellar stroke, with intensive physical and occupational therapy over weeks to months, symptoms may become minimal and may even resolve completely.

I have 2 babies , I had Stoke symptoms with both but my last one was worse . I'm pregnant now , only like 4 weeks , and I'm already getting stroke symptoms. I'm not for an abortion but if it means loosing my life will my doctor let me terminate , I can be on birth control because I get the same symptoms. My left side goes numb an I can see out of my eye an I get a migraine like no other .

I am Tahmina Khanom Srabony. I had a brain stroke 1 year earlier. I have Cyst in my ovary. Now I am 3 months pregnant. I am suffering extreme abdominal pain.Some time tremendous headache including left hand.I took some physiotherapy after my stroke, because of left side affect. What should I do right now?

Many owners confuse the symptoms of a stroke in humans to a stroke in dogs. In fact, they are quite different.

Pregnancy and the changing hormones may cause pregnancy-related symptoms like dizziness, migraine and gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or vomiting especially during the first months of pregnancy. It would be best to discuss this with your doctor on your next prenatal consult. Take care and do keep us posted.

Your risk for stroke is highest during the 6 weeks after delivery, not during pregnancy. And I only know this because I have a history of stroke. My doc will put me on anticoagulants after delivery for 6 weeks to combat that risk, should I get pregnant again. But, again, I've had a stroke already, otherwise it wouldn't be a concern. I hope you end up feeling better soon.

Like if an area of the brain is affected, it causes certain results peripherally. In the absence of this, it is difficult to say that the symptoms are due to TIA or stroke. Many times with TIAs the imaging studies do not pick up any positive findings. If your symptoms persist or recur consult your doctor. Regards.

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.

The next day he woke up with the same symptoms as the stroke 6 years ago and we assumed he had another stroke. The MRI, CTScan shows no new stroke, but his symptoms continue and he doesn't seem to be getting much better. He has lost his job due to the memory loss issues. Any thoughts on what could have happened? We are seeing a neuropsychologist.

I'm glad it wasn't a stroke too. Try to relax as much as possible and not stress. Sometimes migraines come on after a period of stress has passed by and you are just beginning to relax. If I could wave a magic wand so that all the stress in the world would disappear I would but they haven't invented functioning wands yet.

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!!
