How long does a stroke last?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Stroke symptoms typically last more than 24 hours, and may or may not resolve, even with therapy. Some stroke symptoms may never resolve or get better. Symptoms can begin to resolve in about 1 to 5 minutes, which is typical, but some may take about 24 hours to resolve.

I'm really confused and a bit worried about something I've been experiencing for the past year. I've been having this floating sensation and imbalance when I walk. I got an MRI done for both my brain and cervical spine, but they came back normal. What's weird is that sometimes it goes away for about 15 days and then just comes back. It's driving me insane! I dont have headaches, blurred vision, hearing issues, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It all started with this spinning feeling when I got up from bed, but now it mostly feels like imbalance. I consulted an ENT doctor who said it's not BPPV. I've also been to 3 or 4 neurophysicians and tried some medications but they didnt help. One of them suggested it might be anxiety, but I'm really lost here and dont know what to do next. Could you please suggest any other possibilities or any other steps I should take? I'm honestly at a loss and could use some direction.

That could be BPPV or Anxiety,follow your doctors advice maintain proper posture,and stay physicially active and take adequate rest

I'm dealing with vertigo for the past four months, and it's really bothering me. Every time I change position, even for just about 34 seconds, this dizziness hits. My family doctor suggested I take Vitcofol, Neurobion Forte, and Betahistine 16, and I got some injections too, but it hasn't helped much. The vertigo seems to be worse in the morning, and I'm struggling to stand properly. I'm only 20, and my CT scan came back normal. Could there be something else causing this, or should I try different treatments?

You've taken the right steps: 1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain. 2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain. _Current situation:_ 1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought. 2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment. 2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection. 3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks. 4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

My dad's 80 and he had a mild ischemic stroke and mis last year. Since then, he's been using a duolin nebulizer regularly. I'm wondering if it's safe for him to keep taking it every day?

Given your father's history of ischemic stroke and MIS, continuing Duolin nebulizer therapy may be appropriate if prescribed by his doctor to manage his breathing or airway issues. However, it's important to regularly reassess his condition with his healthcare provider to ensure it's still necessary and to adjust treatment if needed.
