Stroke like symptoms
My grandmother age 65, she suffering from hypertension 170/100 and she due to skip two doses of medicine she falls due to dizziness and difficulties in speaking, but she is concious,
Talking eating all activities she is doing but for some time she forgetting and talking anything, we did MRI some photos sharing please suggest is this serious needs hospitalisation or we monitor with medicines at home, is this serious condition or mild please suggest
This patient has multiple infarcts in the brain, few old and few new ones. This means your patient had a stroke on more than 1 occasion, though minor ones. There is a risk of getting more minor strokes or a major stroke with paralysis in the future.
The main goal of treatment for stroke is to prevent its recurrence.
So I would suggest you to get completely evaluated at a hospital, get tests for all risk factors and start appropriate medications.
Next Steps
1. Get Stroke workup done.
