After a stroke how long will light headedness and lack of taste last i?

Many months perhaps: Patients that have stroke that are even mild often report symptoms for many months and in some cases can be permanent. The brain is poor and slow to heal. Any symptoms that last over 18 months are generally considered permanent.
