What Precaution And Medication To Take In Case Of Stroke?
hi. thanks for help before - something new. Did I have a stroke? I do have anxiety problem also - with fast heart sometimes. On late night of 12/1/2011 - I had noticed heart rate 100 bps and bp 90/150. I went to hospital - and they checked heart rate 115 bps and bp 100/164. After another check 15 minutes later - heart rate was down to 100 bps and bp 90/150 again. Perhaps - for 30 minuntes on way to hospital I was very anxious so high reading on entry to hospital. I seated in hospital for an hour with 15 minutes reading - no medication - and after an hour, heart rate reduced to 90 bps and bp 140/85. I went home and slept. No medicatioin was used. Had not experience blurred vision, motion problem or facial movmeent issue or headache. Next day and including today (day 3) - I have moderate forehead pain at top of forehead and between the eyes on the nose bridge. And moderate fuzziness. Little dizzy, nausea perhaps. I do have sinus problem but not frequently - and some shortage of sleep for several days (6 hours instead of regular 7 hours). I am not sure -if this probem is related to stroke or tension or? should I have CT or MRI?I shall go check with doctor today - as now visisiting a foreign country there is langugage barrier. What precaution and medication to take in case of stroke?
Hello, I clearly understand what you are going through. -From your explanation, there is evidence you had a stroke. A stroke can be caused by poorly managed hypertension etc. It occurs in a very high blood pressure reading more than 164/100 mmHg. -You have issues with anxiety and high blood pressure. You should continue treatment for high blood pressure and try to get exercise at least 3 times a week to help with your anxiety. Also try to get enough sleep, as lack of sleep increases palpitations. - You can take Tab. Valerian extracts 400mg 2 tablets an hour before bedtime, any time you are having trouble sleeping. Best regards
