symptom or effect
by parthi, May 07, 2008 05:08AM
My husband suffered a stroke attack three years ago. His left side was affected. After physiotherapy he recovered most of his mobility, except for some fine movements of his left fingers. Now he has developed a new inconvenience of not having bladder control. He is also getting dry coughing fits quite often. He complains of indigestion and a kind of burning sensation in his chest, like heart burn. He drools sometimes. Are these symptoms of another stroke or effects of the previous stroke ?

There are always chances of getting a stroke if the patient already has a history of previous strokes.You have to be alert and monitor the blood pressure levels and be watchful regarding his activities.Loss of bladder control may be an effect of the previous stroke but you should consult a neurologist and rule out the possibility of a new one.
Best.
