A member asked:

My mother is 94. headache just came on very suddenly. i gave her 2 tylenol (acetaminophen). it is over her left eyebrow & extremely painful. is this sign of stroke?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to see the Dr.: When a healthy person is 94 years old, any sudden changes in condition need to be evaluated by a doctor. That means going to the emergency room, if one cannot reach her doctor. However, is a 94 year-old is on hospice care, or has been ill and getting close to hospice care, the considerations are very different.
