Suggest Treatment For Mini Stroke, Nose Bleed And Cold Symptoms?

my husband has had 2 mini strokes affecting his left eye, tonight he has a nosebleed. My husband had had 2 mini strokes affecting his left eye within a month and a half. Tonight he has a nosebleed. Also has some kind of cold for last 2 days. Is the nosebleed a part of the cold or stroke? I am worried and don t know what to think. He also refused to go to doctor today to check out the cold symptoms. Are these related to the mini stroke?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your husband's symptoms. I would like to reassure you that nose bleeding is not a symptom of mini stroke.

It needs to be evaluated by an ENT doctor to determine the cause of nose bleed.

For mini strokes, he needs to be evaluated by a neurologist to determine the risk factors.

He should be on anti-platelets to prevent recurrence of stroke.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
