[xxCheckYourselfxx]

Last night around ten I couldn't focus on anything out of my right eye,my hand became numb(which eventually spread to my whole body,even my tounge),my head started hurting like crazy,and I couldnt focus on making out words or typing the..at all..I did't try getting up and moving around because I was laying in bed, afraid,and the whole right half of me was numb. I don't know if this is something stupid or not but I'm only 15, with no health problems(besides migranes.does anyone know what it is?

I suffered 3 T.I.A strokes in my sleep. All i remember was feeling like i was drunk and then lights out. My friend woke me up off the living room floor and asked me if i wanted to go to my room? I was awakened by my boss calling me to see why i was not in work, and i had told him it was sunday! It really changed my life. My class A license was revoked and i had to change jobs. If you have high B/P get it down NOW!!! Dont drink alcohol or eat fast food!!

I had my first stroke when i was 13 i believe, i have had one every six to eight months since then. lots of memory loss and stuff. but my family just doesnt have money so i cant see a doctor..

My mother suddenly felt dizzy, her entire body went dead (she couldn't move at all. She said that she didn't see the room spinning but she felt that her brain moved inside her head. I had to sit her up because she couldn't move. Then she started to throw up. She Threw up for like 2 or 3 hours without stopping. Her vision was blurry on one eye and she couldn't walk normally (she just walked to one side like something was pulling her). Doctors did all kinds of test.

@caserioboricua i am sorry to hear of this and i hope your mother is doing okay by now. GOD Bless!

I just had one last night. I have every symptom... They sent me home with the diagnosis or a tension migraine. I can't seem to type normal. or as fast today like I did. And my left cheek feels funny at times. I had total numbness on my left side, couldn't move. Dizzy and slurred speech. Everything looked blurry. It was a TIA.

Good luck hun. I am a 28 year old female. It can happen to anyone.

i had a throbing in the back of my head then it suddenly stopped and thats when the right side of my face went numb

[duvall1955]

thats signs of an anurism. u need to go to a doctor to be checked out and probably put on blood thinner being it is the back of your neck. take 1 asperin a day to keep your blood thin. ask for doctor about cumidin. the is a stroke related. just trying to hell you. thanks.

[duvall1955]

my girlfriend had 2 i the past two days, it was not a pretty picture. go to the hospital and get test run. this is serious.

[Dynaverse]

@rskrj yep me too 24male perfectly healthy

[fnogyrabyore]

im 15 and im having this and it hurts me that when i tell my mom but she trys to tell me its nothing serious and wont take me to a doctor because we dont have insurance

[rskrj]

Go to your school nurse. She can call 911 and no matter what, you go. There is state help for bills and u can always get donations. always start a website for free and get donations.
