Hi.

Why is she bedridden ? Does she suffer from paralysis ? If she has suffered from paralysis, the doctors may have said they can't do anything about the paralyzed parts. But respiratory problems are definitely treatable.

Hi.

Of course there is treatment for the cardiovascular disease. It is like the cardiovascular disease.... where we perform all sorts of treatments.

If there are arterial blocks, they can be cleared by giving appropriate medicines. If there is aneurysm, we can get it removed!

First, you should ask the doctors what the problem is. Nobody can turn a patient back for cerebrovascular disease. It is like telling someone there is no treatment for headache.

Did the doctors tell you why she had respiratory failure ?

Hello.

Cerebrovascular disease is a general term. This term means any disease of the blood vessels in the brain which leads to hampered or compromised blood supply to the brain.

There could be narrowing of the arteries, block of the arteries by blood clot of plaques. The arteries could be dilated like a balloon (aneurysm).

Possibilities are numerous. You will have to ask the doctor about the specific disease she has.

Why was the CT scan done ? Did she have any neurological problems ?

Regards
