Im 17 and currently studying for Alevels, you see.... umm I think it was last month? While I was walking around the school...suddenly I couldn't feel one side of my body(right side) and I felt a bit dizzy too. Not just that, before that happened, I felt like a zombie ..I couldn't feel anything and I was so numb I didnt react to anything, it was hard for me to understand what others were trying to say too.
Now im feeling a bit better and I can do stuff normally but i had a feeling like something or someone is drilling a hole in my brain it lasted for seconds... I cant remember and im starting to lose my appetite plus I find it hard to swallow my saliva etc
Am I having a stroke? Or not? :s
If I were in your shoes I would definitely see an MD (even though I think now that they think they know more than they actually do) and take 81 mg ASA and have my blood pressure checked properly. It seems high BP can trigger a stroke and what you described does sound like a probable or at least possible. Good luck.
jellyclouds, definitely something you should get checked out with your GP sooner rather than later because if that was a stroke or TIA, you will need to be investigated and on medication to prevent another occurrence. Good luck and I hope all is well.
Thanks roland42374!! I'll try to ask my mom... :]
Okay :] but im curious tho, will it happen again if It was a TIA?
Yes, sometimes TIAs can be the precursor to a full-blown stroke. At least do what Roland has suggested and get your Dr to check your blood pressure.
I would definetley make an appointment with your GP who may send you for tests and scans, good luck and I hope get all sorted soon :-)
How are you doing now, jellyclouds?
