Brain and Spine Problems
Query Regarding Ischemic Stroke
I am asking this question for knowledge purpose only.
My father had 2 ischemic strokes in last 2 years in PCA territory and Lacunar Territory. He takes medication like Aspirin 150 MG, Atrovastin 20 MG , Citicoline 500 MG and Piracetam 800 MG according to Doctor's advice.
I have question regarding Antiplatelate drug Aspirin only.
Can you please clarify that if Aspirin helps to dissolve the blood clot in artery which already happened ? Or once the blood clots there is no way to dissolve it ? Only Aspirin will help to prevent blood clotting in future ?
One more follow up question. Once there is clot , it is natural that adjacent tissue will die due to lack of oxygen and nutrient. Are those tissues salvagable with time ? Or generally tissue will not repair ? Only other part of the brain will take over and form new neural network to recover the functionality got affected by ischemic stroke.
Please give a logical answer with medical terms. I have some background to understamd that answer!

Tremors in hand in foot
I recently started cycling 2 weeks ago. I have never cycled in my life. Been feeling a lot tired and light-headed. 2 days ago my hands and feets been trembling in rest and when a carry a little weight. There has been no effect on handwriting or walking. So the tremor is mild but not yet subsiding. I from before also have a bouts of insomnia, anxiety, depression and OCD. Is the tremor because of the stress of excercise and anxiety or do I have something major like Parkinson's or MS?
