    Is it a TIA or a possible nerve inflammation

    I went to ER after I felt tingling/ numbness on the entire left half of my face. I was discharged later that night with having a "Transient ischemic attack". A CT scan and MRI were taken and reports according to the doctors were normal. They have now started me on daily aspirin. I have had 4 episodes of transient pain with tingling and numbness within the last 3-4 days. My questions are that: 1.

    Loss of balance, tingling on left side.

    18 months ago, I had a stroke. Since then, I have constant tingling on my left side, from head down to toes. It is not painful but very annoying. Worse yet, fingers are numb and I lose balance when standing; so walking is impossible. Months of intensive physical therapy, acupuncture, electro-stimulation did nothing, Any suggestions?

    Spironalactone Side Effects

    My Dr. put me on spironalactone for my hirstuism. First it was 50mg daily and I had no problem and no change. Now he put me on 100mg daily. For the past few days I have had a headache and numbness under my tongue. It's very strange and I'm not sue if it's from the meds or something else. Im not sure if I should continue these pills or if this is completely unrelated and need to see a Dr.

    How can you tell if a person is having a mini-stroke?

    My mother-in-law occasionally sounds like she's been drinking. Slurred speech, totally forgets what happened for a part of that day. She gets upset if I mention that she is not "acting like her usual self", that something seems wrong and I asked her once if she had been drinking which she swore she had not been, and then she was very upset with me for asking her that. I believe she has had a minor stroke in the past. Could this be happening again when she is like this? I am worried....

    Worried about another stroke 22 year old female

    Hello, I am a 22 year old female and I had a stroke on May 23 last year 2016. I do not have any visible signs of the stroke although my right side is a bit weaker than my left.
