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.

Question

I'm feeling really dizzy in the mornings, and it's been happening again. After waking up today, the dizziness just hit me out of nowhere and lasted all day. I actually experienced the same thing about four weeks ago, and that time it went on for three days straight. I just thought it was normal back then, but now it's back and kind of freaking me out. Could this be due to dehydration or maybe something with my blood pressure? I checked my BP and it was 120. What should I do about this?

Question

I've been experiencing this really heavy feeling in my neck for the past couple of days. It's like my neck needs constant support, almost like it's a burden. But here's the thing: it doesn't hurt, and it's not stiff. It's just unusually heavy. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Question

I've been nursing a bump on the back of my head for a few days now, after slipping in the bathroom and hitting a tiled wall. I've noticed the swelling is almost gone, but the area still hurts when I touch it. Should I be concerned about a potential internal injury or is it pretty normal for this kind of thing? Would love some advice on whether it's wise to get it checked out.
