Does Persistent Dizziness, Impaired Speech And Motor Skills Indicate Stroke?

I had what I thought was vertigo this past Thurs. and went to my doctor and he gave me anti vert which I have had before. I stayed home all day Thursday and returned to work on Friday. Still a little off kilter but I also had problems typing correctly and my speech was a little impaired. Could I also have suffered a min stroke? I also was treated over a week ago for muscular tension in my back left neck area and my doctor gave me several injections in the area with steroids and told to treat with heat. I am still having quite a bit of pain in that area making it difficult to sleep on my left side. I would love to hear what u have to say. YYYY@YYYY

Yes the symptoms like dizziness, impaired speech and motor skill indicates a sign of stroke. So do mri of brain and check. As well do check with physio treatment for your back as well neck pain and take exercise too. This things will be really helpful just follow it. And check on your blood pressure also regularly and if it's on higher side start taking suitable medication as per your doctor suggestion. Take care.
