A member asked:
Has mini strokes from scar tissue pressing against only carotid artery with a reenforced stent. 2 mini strokes been in bed since and vomiting 2 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suggestions: Would not delay contact with a physician, as your history suggests potential risks which need attention. With your prior stroke events, I might be concerned of a further stroke in your brainstem, but the effect of your vomiting can increase intracranial pressure transiently, which might worsen all of the above. Contact your physician ASAP.
