stroke
I live in Scotland UK.
Hi there, I was discharged from a stroke unit in the uk yesterday after having a mini ischaemic stroke which I was frombolised for. When I was first admitted my troponin levels were at 365, dropping to 190 over a 4 day period. I'm unsure of the level now but I imagine it's lower. But I know healthy people are supposed to have no reading. I'm a 29 year old, otherwise healthy female - no drinking smoking or drugs. No history of strokes in the family.

I was told that my elderly mom had a major stroke, first by a clot, they have said.. and then another issue days later(?) cause by an atrial fibrillation. Now they say the situation is critical... R sided stroke, and my mom hasn't really regained consciousness. her MRI shows one major stoke, and then a subsequent one caused by bleeding. Mannitol given and swelling of the brain has greatly subsided. Reacts to painful stimuli, by moving toes, when pinched under the arm. NG tube in place.
Im jus over 20weeks do uz fink I shud start nw n get wee bits..
It has to be ordered by his unit and his unit doesnt seem to care. Thank you so much for your concern on my husbands behalf. I am at a dead end and dont know what else to do.. i guess one voice isnt loud enough in this situation.. and theres nothing i can do from here in the states. If my husband were home, we would be at the doctor figuring this out. But to the army.. he is just another soldier. What scares me is, it so very easy for him to have another heat stroke under the same conditions..
My mother suffered a watershed stroke during or after cardiac surgery 7 years ago. She is still paralyzed on her right side but regained other skills through my constant care and talking about memories she had lost. She is now 88 and her short-term memory is failing. My question is regarding mood swings. Does this type of stroke affect one's ability to manage anger? She is almost bi-polar with me and I don't always see the change coming.
Do you mean a physical trauma to someone that is recovering from a stroke? Or memory loss due to a stroke?
Strokes can definitely cause memory loss. If trauma after a stroke, what kind? Trauma to the head? How long ago was the stroke?
I know that the doctors and therapists were very worried about setbacks if my husband were to fall or hit his head by banging into something in the first few months after his stroke.
After spending 8 days in the hospital getting my heart back into sinus rhythm (3 cardioversions + Tikosyn) I am back to Afib (off the Tikosyn) and have a 'normal' heart rate of 100 now. I presently take Lisinopril, Digoxin, Warfarin, and Carvedilol. Is 'my present condition' truly something that should not cause concern to me. Isn't being in constant AFib causing my chances of a stroke to rise considerably???
MRSA was susceptible to Gentamycin which she was on very frequently and Pred Forte was also started, after a few weeks on Gent, slowly to make sure infection did not get worse, but to help with redness and inflammation. Lower ring was also removed in early Oct 2011. All meds stopped in December 2011, leaving wife with a scar in the cornea where the MRSA was. @ 1 week after stopping meds, eye became severly red again.
Was given an injection on antibiotic and cortisone inj for the strep.
Our mom, Suzanne, who is 71 had a stroke on the back of her head, on the brain stem on May 23rd 2008. All of her memory and the part of her brain that makes her who she is, is all there. Thank god!
Suzanne was diagnosed with a stroke 7 1/2 hours after being rushed to the emergency room. My family and I found this a bit odd since she had every symptom of having a stroke.
And we all know that it is vital to get help and diagnosed as soon as possible, when a person apperes to have had a stroke.
is there hope to regain strength and finger movement in your hand after having a stroke 12 years ago?,i am 44 years old had a stroke in 2000 due to having thick blood i am taking an aspirin daily 325 mg but still cannot use my left hand, are there hope for me now after such long time span ?
no. herpes is a virus. gent is an antibiotic. antibiotics don't help with viral infections.
Hi all, its now been 2 weeks since my father had a stroke. We managed to get him onto the stroke specialist unit on monday which was brilliant news as the care there is 10 times better than on the general medical ward. He had a really bad dry mouth and started to get a few ulcers. They have totally sorted out his mouth and he generally looks much more healthier. That is the good news...
yes around 10 weeks i would barely eat anything during the day cause of nausea and when my hubby was asleep i snuck into the kitchen and ate some fruit or just something healthy uz i get heartburn alot
Well a couple of hours later he came back and said there was no sign of a stroke and said it was a Complicated Migraine well i looked this up and a Hemiplegic Migraine fits my moms symptoms but tonight after an MRI another neurologist came and told me and my mom that she had a stroke. My mom is 47 great health. And now after the doctors said she had a migraine now all the sudden its a stroke i need to ask should i get another oppinion or what should i do im lost......
I am 49 and have the following congenital heart defects: PFO, ASA, MVP and normally have hypertension controlled with norvasc and triamterene. Have had several TIA's and a major stroke at 46 due to PFO and ASA and have been taking Aggrenox and Simvastatin since the event.
We called the ambulance and when the ER doc did a CT of his head they saw he had 2 stroke areas on his brain, so the first stroke was on 10-30, we just did not know it was a stroke b/c it hit the visual cortex of his brain. The 2nd one hit his frontal lobe area and hit his language area of his brain. The injury to his neck, caused a carotid artery dissection and it threw blood clots which caused the 2 strokes. So be careful if you ever hurt your neck.
He is 70 years old with blood work and blood pressure of a much younger man. When you take coumadin to help prevent a stroke then learn that taking it could also cause a stroke-that's kind of scary. My husband also started taking cod liver oil daily which we read keeps those arteries nice and slippery making it hard for clots to form. He also takes bunches of different vitamins. Thanks also for the heads up about a physicians "Standard of Care" rules.
