I am at 25 year old women was born at 25 weeks premature in 1989 weighing 1 pound.

His doctor has given him an MRI, and he has no sign of stroke or tumor. Are these typical symptoms or a person that attempts to quit after excessive use for a long period of time? Also, his tolerance level changed, which made him stop in the first place, along with family intervention.

Generally, a 50% blockage of a carotid and if you haven't had any signs or symptoms of a stroke, it is usually recommend that the condition be treated with lifestyle changes and medication. Eating healthy foods, exercising, losing weight and, in some cases, lowering the amount of sodium in your diet, may help slow the progression of carotid artery blockage (stenosis). Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for carotid artery disease and stroke. If you use tobacco, you should permanently stop.

I don't know the exact odds, but they are slim. Fertility begins to decline in our 30's (very gradually) and by 50 it is pretty rare for a women to get pregnant without help. However, it is not impossible, and it can happen. So, as long as she is still ovulating, if you wish to avoid pregnancy, using protection is not a bad idea.

I am having the same thing...I have already had one MRI of my brain but am having another one this week or next week as I went to a neuro and he thinks something may have happened between my last MRI and now. A neuro exam will help them see if there is a need for an MRI. Please get to a neuro and email me and let me know what happens. I will let you know what mine comes back as.

Among women who were later treated for stroke, the study showed that many of them reported symptoms that were different from the typical stroke symptoms. Aside from the classic stroke symptoms, a woman may have: loss of consciousness or fainting, shortness of breath, falls or accidents, sudden pain in the face, chest, arms or legs, seizure, sudden hiccups, sudden nausea, sudden tiredness, and sudden palpitations.

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.

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.

The fact that you have a family history of stroke will over-ride your age. From the information I have read about stroke symptoms, you seem to be having them all. If I was you, I would go immediately to the hospital if you are too weak and don't think you can safely drive there then call an ambulance. Some of these symptoms are also for heart attack.

Whereas the ADA used to recommend low-dose aspirin for every diabetic patient over the age of 40, their new guidelines suggest aspirin as a prevention strategy only in those with diabetes whose cardiovascular risk is above average. This includes men over age 50 or women over age 60 with at least one additional major risk factor. In other words, according to the ADA, younger diabetic patients without associated cardiovascular risk factors appear not to benefit from taking aspirin.

Usually these symptoms resolve. This is mostly a forerunner of a stroke. Your friend most likely had a TIA followed by a stroke. Was he given therapy for hypertension once he had the first episode of these symptoms? Consult your friend’s neurologist/intensivist who would best apprise you of his present neurological deficits and MRI findings. It is difficult to comment on the prognosis without checking him clinically. You are welcome with any clarifications and God bless your friend.

What is the recommendation for women in their early 50's, who have had ER/PR HER2 negative breast cancer, stage I, no spread to lymph nodes (surgery, followed by radiation and chemotherapy) in regards to hormone replacement therapy due to complete hysterectomy resulting in severe menopause reactions?

I do not think a pinched nerve is going to make you feel woozy! Since you've apparently already had some heart problems, I'd go back to whomever provided your care when you went thru your arterial crisis and they can do tests to determine if it is indeed a clog in the vessel or whatever.

I'm not a doctor, but I've seen patients with strokes and these sound like a-typical symptoms after a stroke. I also watched my grandfather go through a stroke and he had none of these things. But again, I'm not a doctor. You should go get scanned to see if maybe you're having little mini strokes or the strokes triggered some sort of seizure disorder. I hope everything works out for you.

The next day we thought she was having a stroke, very disoriented, in hysterics over everything and refused to go to the ER. We watched her throughout the night and the next day wasnt as out of control hormonally but still bad. Its been about a week and she is still not right. She keeps repeating thing over and over, posting notes everywhere, swares everyone is lying about everything, not sleeping. We have no idea whoi this person is now. Is this normal reaction to the meds??

Sometimes stroke symptoms can manifest as MS, and vice versa, because it's damage to the brain that causes the symptoms. My first documented flare was very much like that - I felt drunk all the time, dizzy, off balance, weak, exhausted, twitchy, and found it very hard to talk coherently. Nystagmus and optic neuritis made it hard to see. I was having repeated throat spasms, and having trouble swallowing. I improved almost immediately on an oral course of steroids - Prednisone.

5% of the women were aged 50 to 54 years, which is the age range when women typically decide whether to start MHT. Furthermore, the WHI did not address menopausal symptom relief. Therefore, this scientific statement considered new data from later studies evaluating the effects of MHT in women aged 50 to 55 years. Compared with women who begin MHT after age 60 years, those who begin MHT a short time after onset of menopause at ages 50 to 59 years appear to benefit.

Yeah it is entirely possible to naturally have a baby at age 50... There have been women older than that who have gotten pregnant and had the baby naturally... I am hoping and working on doing the same although I am only 49 ... That's close enough... Have you been tested for perimenipausal symptoms??? I know a couple of women who were peri-menopausal and got pregnant and had a child... What is your desire???? Good luck with it!!!!

Itching could occur after stroke if the stroke is in the thalamus area of the brain which receives the sensory information of pain , touch , temperature , pressure and other sensations from all over the body . The onset may be from days to weeks after the stroke . Topical therapy with moisturizers and emollients helps alleviate the itching . Treatment with amitriptylene 50 mg a day results in resolution of the itching . Some patients respond to Carbamazepine also.

t think about it i feel somewhat better, but these symptoms are still there. I wonder if this is possible brain damage from a stroke, i did smoke for a year plus i'm about 50 lbs overweight. i'm only 28 years old but you can have a stroke at any age. Or does this sound like i'm anxious and obsessing over this?

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.

Yes, if the artery was 50% blocked, it needs to be evaluated periodically by a cardiologist. Generally a 50% block will not cause any symptoms and if treated with blood thinners and other medications to prevent atherosclerosis, then this will not progress fast too. Even if your insurance doe not cover it, it would be wise to get a duplex ultrasound (dopplar) or angiogram since it has been 2 years. The only risk is of disease progression and strokes. Take care!
