I had a stroke in July2012. I recovered very quickly, was able to drive a 5-speed by Nov2012. 2 days ago, I had an overwhelming feeling that I was going to die. It started at 1:am, for some reason I had to have a bm. I continued to have a bm every hour, my mouth was salivating, which is unusually since I have Graves Disease I am always dry in my face area including eyes. My left eye wouldn't focus no matter how much I blinked or put my theradrops in. Other than that I started feeling like I was not in my head. I can't explain it any other way, sort of like when you are drunk and ready to sleep...that sensation. It was worse when I stood, so I tried to stay in bed as much as possible. By the time my husband came home 5:pm, I told him I needed to go to the hospital immediately something was terribly wrong with me. I thought I was having a stroke, I was under anesthesia when I had the one in July, so I don't know how you know. The hospital is 1/2 hour away, by the time we got there, I could feel my body on the left side getting stiff, and my saliva increased more. When we pulled in my husband dropped me off at the front door. I had a very hard time getting inside. I needed to lean on the wall. It took a few minutes for me to make it to the chair. When I finally did, a nurse came out, asked my name and I couldn't speak. My throat turned a warm spasm, and nothing came out. I could only nod my head. At this point tears started flowing as I got scared at what was happening. I tried to get into the wheelchair but my legs were too heavy to lift, I couldn't stand without the feel of falling. I still couldn't speak, my whole body became rigid and I had a hard time writing they kept saying calm down but I was, my tears and saliva wouldn't stop coming. They took a ct scan, and put me in waiting room. I was there for 3 1/2 hours before I got a massive headache on my right side, it must have lasted about 20 minutes when it left I spoke a sentence, a moment later and I stood. I left then, went to my own dr in the morning. He said I didn't have a stroke, but something happened. He said it might have been ischemic? Is this what happens? I am now on hb propranolol 80mg a day. With the 250mg aspirin I take every morning. Have you ever heard of this? And the stroke I had in July, I couldn't feel the floor with my right foot as soon as I recovered from a colonoscopy. The nurse had to lift my right leg into car. When I was in therapy, they kept yelling at me that I was not responding the right way. I couldn't feel the floor until Oct. I never had a stroke before I was responding to what was going on with my body. I don't know what else I could've done, I couldn't feel the floor and couldn't walk without a walker. Please explain this...thank you so much for your time.
