Question 1

my husband have a stroke (bleeding in his brain) last year, so what are the sign if his going to have a stroke again?

Accepted Answer

FAST: Some times, there are no warning signs.
An easy way to help remember what a stroke looks like is to remember fast.  Face - is there asymmetry to the face.  Arm - is one arm weak or numb compared to the other.  Speech - is the person's speech clear or garbled?  Time - if someone is having these symptoms, get them to medical attention right away.

Question 2

my dad had brain stroke last year. tonight he is mumbling, not finishing a sentence. not saying what's the problem. is this a sign of stroke?

Accepted Answer

Likely: He may well have another stroke and i feel he should be examined by a physician asap and the necessary testing will be done.

Question 3

there's no sign of a stroke on my mri of brain why  would i have constant numbness in face, head ect? afor 9 months now?

Accepted Answer

Not always a stroke: You should see a neurologist, without knowing more about your exam and presentation it might help to point out that numbness may not necessarily due to a stroke in the brain matter. All points of the pathway between the sensory receptors in the skin, the connecting nerves, and the brain itself may be affected.

Question 4

brain scan came back with possible signs of previous hemorrhage/hemosiderin deposition. i've had no major symptoms ever, of something like stroke and brain bleed. can the body heal and i'm fine going forward even if something did happen in the past?

Accepted Answer

Healing: It sounds like your body did heal nicely. Work up will still be needed in order to understand what where the possible causes for the bleed, so that secondary prophylaxis will be in place. Best would be to establish with a neurologist in order to better prepare for the future.

Question 5

headaches  occur couple times in a month, usually one sided and dull and hurt behind my eye. is this a sign of stroke or brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Likely migraine.See your doctor and get a workup for the headaches.

Question 6

are paresthesias along with loss of sensation in legs, burning in head a sign of a stroke? can an mri of brain detect previous strokes?

Accepted Answer

MRI is best : Stroke symptoms are variable but a brain MRI will detect even very small stokes almost immediately.  Ct scanning, although cheaper and faster, can miss small strokes or very early strokes.

Question 7

hot is cold cold is hot pain all over focusing at the cerebral cortex could this be a sign i had a stroke? if no what else can cause this

Accepted Answer

Not Clear: It seems that you are saying that you have abnormal/unexpected sensations over a part of your head or scalp. The actual cerebral cortex can't been seen(except at surgery) and doesn't have sensation. What you seem to be describing on the scalp sounds like a local peripheral neuropathy. This means there may be some nerves in the scalp that are transmitting abnormal sensations.

Question 8

could this be a sign of a future stroke middle cerebral arteries: there is an early trifurcation of the left mca there may be minimal irregularity of the m2 segments and right m1 segment?

Accepted Answer

: This is an anatomic variation and no predictions can be made on this basis alone. Best is to followup by your doc as per your past history or evaluation.
