Suggest Treatment For Drooling And Headaches
Question: I had an experience about two years ago.. where I had drooling and the worst headache of my life. I just recently put it together to see a neurologist. My mri/ spinal tap was clear. My question is this: Is it possible to of suffered a XXXXXXX stroke or stroke or even possibly a lack of oxygen to the brain and the mri be clear two years later since I waited so long to get an mri? I had severe confusion, I felt like I couldn't talk.. I'm scheduled to see another specialist from my current neurologist in January but that seems so far away. I also developed breathing problems, that I was able to fight back from that by exercise. But I began seeing black spots and having severe problems.. I'm doing somewhat better today, but the confusion and symptoms like that still follow me. I've tried to take care of myself to fight back from it all. I was basically wondering if a XXXXXXX stroke or stroke.. etc.. would even show up on a mri two years later? The house I was living in at the time was full of cigarette smoke and I was on a medication for the developed asthma..I also started having utis on a frequent basis.. Any answers would be great considering I have such a long time to wait to see my next doctor.
Brief Answer:
With these symptoms stroke is unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. I have read your query thoroughly. I shall answer it accordingly.
First of all about your concern of possible XXXXXXX stroke or stroke: stroke occurs when there is a lack of blood supply to part of brain for such a long duration that leads to death of neuron. Symptoms are dependent on the site of damage ( different parts of brain). These kind of stroke leads to paralysis if occur at particular site.
XXXXXXX stroke is called in medical terms as transiet ischemic attacks (TIAs). Symptoms may be sudden weakness with blackening in front of eyes. person may have to sitdown suddenly to control oneself. There may be headache after it.
At your age without high blood pressure and sugar. The XXXXXXX stroke is unlikely.
Apart from this, the all symptoms may be related to psychological issues. Headache, breathing difficulty, blackening in front of eyes, weakness, confused state and so many other symptoms.
I shall advise you to read about anxiety and depressive disorder on the internet before you visit a neurologist.
You have asthma, you have mentioned here. So breathing difficulty can be explained on that. Asthma is commonly associate with anxiety disorder. If you are married then this is the age when anxiety can commonly occur.
Do you have any particular stress when thses symptoms occured? Do you experience same symptoms repeatedly or every time they are different? Do your heart races woth these symptoms?
I am waiting for your reply. Give answers accordingly. Wishing you good health.
