Diagnosed With Hystorectomy. Had Stroke, Has Cold Turkey And Quit Premarin. Suffering From Headache
Hi, My mother is 63 yrs old and she has been a smoker for 45+ years and had an emergency hystorectomy 1982 and has been on premerin and she just had a stroke about a week ago (due to the combination of the two) how responsible are the doctors knowing shes a smoker as well as she has now cold turkey quit the premerin and she is suffering with headaches emotionally unstable and trying to work a little as she is a self employed business woman but i am mostly concerned with the quitting cold turkey.
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
You mother had a stroke and the most common factor for causing stroke is smoking. Even if she was not on premarin still she might have had a stroke. So its a bit difficult to predict. The cold turkey thing is cause of sudden discontinuation of the medications and they will take time to resolve. Mostly the problem will be transient and will resolve with time. However let her take plenty of water and rest.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
