How long does a stroke last?
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.

View allI'm really concerned because my mom keeps having this burning sensation all over her body. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could you suggest some effective medicine or treatment options that might help her?
burning sensation throughout the body can be unsettling. There are several possible explanations, and I'll outline some potential causes and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Nerve damage or neuropathy*: Damage to nerves can cause burning sensations. 2. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, B6, or B1 can lead to burning sensations. 3. *Diabetes*: High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, leading to burning sensations. 4. *Thyroid disorders*: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause burning sensations. 5. *Menopause*: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to burning sensations. 6. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticonvulsants, can cause burning sensations. 7. *Infections*: Certain infections, like shingles or multiple sclerosis, can cause burning sensations. *Medications and Remedies* Please consult your doctor before taking any medications. They will help determine the underlying cause and recommend the best course of treatment. 1. *Vitamin supplements*: Ensure your mother is getting adequate vitamins, especially B12, B6, and B1. 2. *Pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may help alleviate burning sensations. 3. *Topical creams*: Creams containing capsaicin or lidocaine may help reduce burning sensations. 4. *Anticonvulsants*: In some cases, anticonvulsant medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage burning sensations.

My brother has swelling in his head due to a blood clot in his brain. One doctor recommended surgery to control the swelling, but another said medication would be enough. Right now, he seems physically fine but is very weak internally and has lost a lot of his memory he can't name simple objects like a fan or spoon and doesn't even remember the difference between singular and plural. The doctors say it's a case of forgetfulness. How long will his recovery take, and will he ever regain his memory like before?
Recovery time after a brain blood clot can be variable, ranging from months to even longer. While some individuals regain most of their memory and cognitive function, the extent of recovery depends on the location, size, and duration of the clot, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment. The memory loss your brother is experiencing, which may be described as forgetfulness, could be a symptom of temporary brain damage or a sign of ongoing brain function recovery

I've been dealing with this weird tingling pain in my fingers and arms on both hands for the last 3.5 months now. It all started out of nowhere after I had some saline in my left arm. On top of that, my stomach constantly feels bloated, and I'm having these strange palpitations in my stomach and throat area. It's really starting to worry me. Any idea what might be going on or what I could try to feel better?
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as tingling pain in fingers and arms, bloating, palpitations, and sensations in the stomach and throat, could be related to nerve issues or underlying medical conditions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. However, to alleviate the symptoms, you can try taking Vitamin B complex supplements like Neurobion Forte once a day for nerve health. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help with bloating and stomach discomfort. Make sure to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
