Avatar f tn 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.
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 f tn But i had symptoms of Bell’s Palsy .
Avatar m tn I'm 23 male. Since past 1 month when I try to smile, my cheeks start to tremble. I also notice muscle twitches in my body. My right upper eye led also twitch. Sometimes my finger moves OR jumps on its own for 1 second then it becomes normal. I have also noticed my leg moves its position slightly involuntary for 1-2 second then it becomes normal. Past history: I was diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency with hyperparathyroid in october 2012, I don't know if its primary or secondary.
Avatar f tn But, even if you do have diagnosed migraine with stroke-like symptoms, if you ever show any NEW stroke symptoms then it is still important to seek immediate medical attention regardless of previous diagnosis, just like the last note on whisperwolf's list says.
Avatar n tn My grandma did not have a stroke, but she had Bell's palsey. One side of her mouth drooped and her smile was affected. I read it was important to massage the area regularly and every day and suggested she do this. God used her faithful massage of the area to bring her full smile back! It was such a blessing.
Avatar f tn It kind of sounds like Bell's palsy. My husband had it for a month last year. It's just the nerve in your face that stops responding for a small amount of time and it usually happens when your immune system is already compromised from something. He has been fine for months now, but it was annoying for him when it happened. You do have to see a doctor or go to the hospital though just so they can confirm that's it. It is similar to stroke symptoms so it's always better to check.
Avatar n tn I agree with your concern over these symptoms- this sounds like signs of a stroke to me however, I'm not a doctor, so don't take that as it's what is happening. I'd really recommend that you call your doctor and talk to them right away about these symptoms. If you can't get a hold of them, it doesn't hurt to get to the ER- especially if it could be a possible stroke.
Avatar f tn Been feeling stress and anxiety for the past 2 weeks and realize that due to the anxiety, i experiencing a lot of unnecessary symptoms. Eg, fatigue, wrist pain, headach etc. after posting on medhelp, i am trying to tell myself not to get so stress up. Try to calm myself and indeed feeling better. Actually reading through Hiv living with forum. I realise actually Hiv is not that scary after all. With proper treatment, able to lead a normal life.
Avatar n tn I am no Doctor but numbness and tingling to one side with weakness to that side could mean a stroke or mini stroke when you feel this try to smile and look in the mirror if only on corner of you smile lifts up get to the hospital asap. Good Luck and I wish and pray for you the best.
Avatar n tn Hi Everyone I decided not to post this in the stroke community because my concern is that the people there will be so used to issues involving stroke that they may immediately see my symptoms as a stroke and lead to further anxiety....so as i've posted here before and people here 'know' me, thought i'd ask the question here - hope that's ok. I've been having on and off for months a sensation over my left eye and sometimes the cheek.
Avatar m tn My wife of 40 years suffered a stroke August 7th. She just started to be able to speak on Sept 9. The doctor said the swelling in the brain did NOT stop until around August 28th and said that when the swelling ended then recovery would begin. Is that correct? She is paralyzed on the LEFT side with sensation now in the left leg; none on the left arm. She has left-side neglect but that seems to have lessened slightly.
1138565 tn?1297104312 This MRI was taken one year after I had the symptoms of a stroke which included nausia, pain in my legs, inability to speak, numbing of my nose which then spread to my entire face, and weakness. The symptoms started one by one, and lasted a total of 30 minutes. Since then, the left side of my face doesnt move like the right side does when I smile. I know theres really nothing you can do about a stroke. But should I be worried about this white area? Thanks!
345079 tn?1299202476 Hi. I used to suffer endlessly with migraines, and they can mimic a stroke but I've never known of anyone to have a stroke as a result of a migraine. Eventually, I stopped having the pain with my migraines and it was replaced with the vision problem. My vision in both eyes would start to zig-zag and I knew I had about 10 minutes to sit down somewhere before i couldn't see to even walk.
Avatar f tn post stroke, peoples personality can change. like i have said in another post, someone can be lovely before the stroke, post stroke they can change, they can use swear words etc etc. a stroke is also known as a brain attack, her memory has probably been slightly affected. well done to your grandmother for doing really well in recovery!
1459002 tn?1297412637 hi there, i only smile on left side of my face as the muscles on my right side dont work. i have full feeling on that side, i cant twitch up that side of my nose, my right eye waters sometimes and i cant close that eye properly-not that i really notice. i am now 29 and have learnt to live it as i was born like this, it doesnt really bother me only when i smile at a stranger and they look at me as if i am pulling faces!!! ha.
Avatar f tn Two weeks ago today I had a face and neck lift. I was very swollen at first, but the swelling is subsiding. Of course, I still have numbness in the lower cheeks and neck. I look very normal when I don't smile or when I slightly smile; however, when my smile is wider or when I laugh - my bottom lip (right side only) pulls down near the corner. I can actually feel sensation of the difference to that side of my mouth as I smile.
1131131 tn?1275108488 I am so worried that it was some sort of stroke thing, i have been looking up stroke like symptoms now for two days. today was a little better, but the nurse had me take a half of a pill in the middle of the day and half tonight. She will call me in the morning to see how i am doing and talk with the shrink about it. I am scared that they might try to switch me to something totally different since at my last appt she talked about possibly adding abilify at a low dose to help boost the lexepo.
Avatar f tn As my father is affected by Acute Brain Stem Infarct (Pontine Stem Stroke) which has all the vital functions like breathing, swallowing, sleeping, thinking, movements etc. He got the stroke on 2nd Mar 2012 and now he is able to breath by himself. Swallowing is not properly done, so Ryle's tube is inserted through the nose for his feed. He is not able to move and he is bed - ridden. On 26th Mar 2013 he vomited some black particles through the Treacheostomy tube.
