will my symtoms go away after stoke?
by linhol3, Jun 23, 2009 03:23PM
4 weeks ago I suddenly had stabbing pain in left side of head, my entire right side went numb, I could not speak and was very confused and disoriented. About 20-30 minutes later I was able to talk but had a stutter and was very weak. CT scan and MRI confirmed a stroke. At present I still stutter and have profound weakness in right side of body. I am also having severe headaches on left side of head. I am insulin dependent diabetic and had heart attack 3 years ago. This is very scary to me and I am so afraid that I will have another stroke. Is it common to have such bad headaches after a stroke? I am new to this forum and hope someone can give me some feedback.

Sorry to hear about your stroke :(
Things do improve, although usually quite slowly. I didn't have a headache associated with my stroke but some strokees I know had & continue to have headaches. I think it is something you should ask your neurologist about.
Do they know the cause of the stroke? Are there things you can do to help address this cause(s)? I found that helped me deal with the fear of another stroke.
All the best, feel free to ask more questions.
