Very interesting. A year ago I had two episodes where I felt like an hour glass emptying of sand. I collapsed momentarily. Just a gentle collapse with no thump. My PCP sent me to a cardiologist and an ENT. All any of the doctors said was to take my BP immediately. I was unwilling to carry my BP monitor on my person 24/7. I do take my BP a couple of times a day and have near normal ( for me) readings. Do you have any idea about what's going on with me?

I had an ischemic stroke at the age of 38, I am now 46. It was the scariest moment of my life. I knew what was happening due to commercials I had previously heard on the radio talking about the signs of a stroke. My husband had me to the hospital within 45 minutes. I had to do speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. My face was dropped and lost feeling on one side of my body. Happy to report I had an amazing recovery, I still have side effects that I will have for the rest of my life but overall doing great! I ignored a headache that I had for a week and this was abnormal for me. I had decided I was going to the doctor the next day but the stroke happened that night. The headache was the only warning. Listen to your body if something doesn’t seem right just go to the doctor! Praise God for healing me!

My husband was 92 in September 2022 when he had a TIA and was hospitalized. Early this year he became unusually weak and sometimes saw pictures "moving" on the wall. I took him to his primary care, then after a few days to a cardiologist who diagnosed him with AFib and prescribed blood thinner. On the same day, Feb. 2, 2023 when we got back home he had a major stroke. I immediately called the ambulance. He was intubated, doctors performed a thrombectomy to dissolve an artery blockage in his brain. Fast forward to today, May 26, 2023 he has made a full recovery, no cognitive or physical deficits.

No it wasn't vaccination related. Unfortunately it was back at a time when it wasn't a common belief that the very young can have strokes but that belief has since changed.

My Grandmother called me in the 80s. She remembered my phone number and could speak clearly but couldn’t figure out how to unlock the front door. I was in PA, she was in Florida. I called her neighbor who took her to the hospital. She was having a TIA but testing showed her carotid artery 90% blocked. After surgery she was fine.

I am a registered nurse for 33 years. I cannot stand to hear the words mini stroke. Mini means small or insignificant. A TIA is a major warning sign of an impending stroke.

I had a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 33 I'm 59 now. I was born with stenosis and i didn't know. After the stroke I didn't remember not even my home address, but i did remember my husband and my 3 kids. I repeated everything over and over again and i didn't know until my husband told crying that i was driving them crazyyyyy by asking the samething every 2 seconds. I cried with my husband that adores me, but that made me realize that i was hurting my family, so i put in my head that i had to be careful every time i said something. I also lost my right eye sight. Thanks to God my eyesight was back after a while and i did my own therapy. I still have trouble remembering some stuff, but i feel that i accomplished a lot of stuff after the stroke and i feel blessed that i was able to see my children grow. 💕

I had a TIA at 54, 2 months ago and got to the hospital within half hour. (left arm and leg paralysis) No pre existing lifestyle or risk factors. Have had a full recovery with no side effects

A week before my stroke I was working in the garden and was really hot. I came inside and looked in the mirror. Half my face was bright red, and the other half was corpse white. There was a line between the two down the middle of my nose. For ten days before my stroke (which was a rare carotid artery dissection) I had a terrible headache and jaw pain. I went to two doctors and one thought it might be a sinus infection and the other thought I was grinding my teeth at night. A few days before my stroke I dreamed I was driving across a bridge that was crumbling away beneath me. When I wrote down my dream, I commented "I think this dream means that the doctors are missing something serious." That crumbling bridge was really my crumbling artery. I didn't blame my doctors. Lots of things can cause headaches. And I never told them about that strange half-red-half-white face. But if you have a sudden severe headache that doesn't go away for days, don't let them brush you off.

My partner had a TIA a couple years back. Luckily I’m first aid trained and knew what had happened immediately. I was on the phone to the ambulance and they were round in minutes. He was started on treatment immediately. It did less damage than his sisters who went untreated for a day. Time is essential for strokes. The faster the treatment the better the outcome

Later, in about 4hrs, I developed lumps all over my body and had to go to hospital at night. I was put on emergency room in a Nairobi Hospital in Kenya but the Dr. examined me and said that I had no clot and my blood sugar was fine, but booked me with a neurologist in now 5days (which instead I will see my Cardiologist) but gave me an antihistamine which worked for the lumps.

My son had a hemorrhagic stroke at 35 in 2013. His BP got extremely high from a genetic kidney disorder. He was Care flighted from his son's baseball practice after an off duty nurse spotted his wife helping him walk. She knew right away he was having a stroke and called 911. The quick reaction time and having been blessed with a nurse there, he is still with us today. The bleed out was on the top of his right brain so he lost use of his whole left side. With PT he regained the use of his limbs. Unfortunately, it did effect his thinking and made his passive ADD worse. He can't keep a job and lost two marriages. 😟 He is living with us now.

Yes high blood pressure spikes can be a sign. It was the only sign (besides minor almost imperceptible word confusion) that my mom experienced But I knew something was wrong and, despite protests from her, I took her to the ER. Initially, they said her BP was unusually high but otherwise, she was fine according to a cat scan. I had to advocate for her and stress to the medical staff that her BP was normally very good and something wasn’t right with her word choice, which I had noticed over several hours. They finally agreed to send her for an MRI, which revealed she did have not one but two small bleeds. And btw for anyone reading this, she usually has excellent well-controlled BP, however, after being the victim of a crime less than two weeks prior, and then that day having trouble with her phone service, she apparently went from being upset over that period of time, to becoming very shaken and panicked on that morning. It was the perfect storm for the BP spike. Luckily, the quick intervention has her almost fully recovered only a few months later.

My elderly neighbor just had a stroke. He used to be a cop. Now he can't even walk up his front steps. It's sad to see.

When I was having TIAs I was losing my vision. It took a week to convince my doctor that I had a problem. I didn't get his attention until I told him about my history of cluster headaches. My attacks consisted of narrowing of vision, becoming dark and very blurry as if trying to see through a windshield during rain at night without wipers. A symptom which is not normally associated with stroke. The most unnerving part of it all is the feeling of being on my own in dealing with it and getting it taken care of because the people you're with are acting like your faking you issue. I blame ibuprofen for my TIAs. I refer you back to my headaches. I have dealt with those since ten years of age and they simply got more intense as time passed. When you're about to lose your mind from pain desperation will drive you to do desperate things. In my desperation I would take as much as 1600 mg of ibuprofen at once to get relief. That usually worked. That lead to diverticular disease and stroke in my 40's. Not to mention the extreme stress of owning/operating a business. I later discovered the problems associated with magnesium deficiency and began taking a magnesium supplement to get away from the statins. The magnesium deficiency was the root cause of ALL my issues. I haven't had a cluster attack since about two weeks after starting the magnesium. My heart palpitations even went away.

You're a wonderful teacher Sten! Thank you for the simplification of this issue.

Dr. Ekberg, thank you SO much for this clear, informative presentation about strokes!!! I had 3 TIAs when I was a healthy young 24-yr-old (50 years ago): one was garbled speech for about 10 seconds, the second was confusion that caused me to drive the wrong way through a cloverleaf intersection. I didn’t report either to my PCP because I believed that I had dreamed the episodes. However, the third was all too real: I suddenly went blind as I was driving through a grocery store parking lot one night. I was terrified and put the car into “park” in the driving lane, leaving my lights on to warn other cars. Other drivers began honking and yelling at me angrily (“MOVE your car, lady .. are you BLIND?!”). This was in 1972 .. no cell phone to call for help. It seemed to last an eternity but gradually my vision returned and I drove home. I called my PCP the next day and she advised me to go off my birth control pills, which I did. I don’t know if there is a connection, but at age 69 I suffered 7 Transient Epileptic Amnesia (TEA) “absence seizures” over a 5 week period. I was misdiagnosed at the ER after the first one. After the second one, I was referred to a wonderful neurologist who correctly suspected TEA, confirmed by my having the 7th seizure while in the hospital’s epilepsy monitoring unit, talking to the unit’s neurologist. I have had no more seizures since going on a med. I am doing keto now and soon to begin carnivore. Have been a type 2 diabetic since my 40s because no doctor ever told me to simply cut out carbs to achieve a normal blood glucose again. I have been able to educate myself on that, thanks to you (and Dr. Ken Berry). God bless you, Dr. Sten! ❤

It's very kind of Dr Eckberg to help us avoid illness and/or heal.

After an MRI and CT angiogram, my brain showed "deep atrophy" & "microinfarcts". Vascularity is, otherwise, in good shape. What sent me to the ER was my left arm becoming numb, which was scary. 13 years ago I had a "subarachnoid hemorrhage". I am 72. Ageing is not for sissies!

I'm so glad you had a happy ending to your story it is scary. I was 60 and got out of the shower one morning and it felt like my head exploded and what had happened was I had the hemorrhagic stroke or aneurysm that ruptured. I had a pretty good ending to my story as well. Everything is okay little ballot issues little memory but I'm 68 almost so I'm just happy to be alive

Dr. Ekberg, thank you for not only your clear, informative presentations, but also you somehow manage to talk about lifestyle factors without any judgement in your voice.

Love this guy... He focuses his message to where it can really make a Difference 💪🫀 Thank you Doctor 🙏 💙

You are always a true inspiration to me Doc. Thanks for what you do.

Looking back, my first warning signs of my stroke were a) a sharp shooting pain on the lower left side of of the back of my head that shot upwards towards the top of my right ear every few minutes. The shooting pains each lasted from 0.5s to 3s. Then about a week later I had an attack of Horner's Syndrome (small pupil and droopy eyelid) that lasted for about one hour. About one month later I then had my stroke in November 2019.

@@ssnoc Hi.. I did go to the walk-in emergency clinic at Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham UK, as the top of my scalp had become sore. Then, after being examined by the doctor and then waiting for my discharge papers, I had a second attack of Horners and I showed my small pupil and droopy eyelid to the young nurse... She did absolutely nothing other than hand me my discharge papers and gave me brief guidlines of how to exit the hospital. As I reflect upon the incident here and now, I really should have reported her lack of concern. A few days later I had my Stroke. Then I spent a week in Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham, where they did a scan of my head and found a 'spray' of small clots.

My wife had a TIA in May of 2023. The hospital sent her home with nothing more than instructions to get a followup within a week. Then a full stroke three days later. Luckily, she has mostly recovered.

Jane here great presentation to understand well had a few little TIAs

I recently saw your channel and started to listen. I'm really grateful for how you detail every aspect relating to your topic. Bless you and please keep adding more videos.

Thank YOU Dr. Sten Ekberg! ALL the things I NEED to know.

Had a TIA a couple years ago. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea.Have been on a CPAP machine for about 2 years.If you are a loud snorer please get checked out.

I have had 5 massive strokes and over 60 TIAs. The Drs found that the POF in my heart was enlarged and once they plugged it with a Helex Gore cardioform they all slowed down. God has blessed me that I only dont feel cold or hot in my hands or feet and once in a while I have clumsy days.

I was in hospital for 10 days for clot blockage in leg 3 to 4 feet long. They gave me blood thinner shots but didnt help. I had to argue to get surgery to remove it. Then finally on day 7 they did surgery and blood clot wouldnt move. Then they put me in ICU two days of heprin. Then had to argue with doctors for a cathlter cuz i couldnt get out of bed to go to bathroom. Wound was left open from last try to get clot out. Finally got catheter put in. Felt better. After two days went in for surgery again. And they removed it. Went back to my room. That night was transferred to another room. Then next day they wanted me out if hospital. Came in early morning. After that no one came to my room when i rang buzzer for nurse. I called my son amd left the next day. I have to say it was difficult being home after all that heprin in my system Also my insurance company delayed my treatment in the beginning of getting my clot removed. So i could of had a stroke or worse died. Always fight for yourself in the hospital. Your just a job to them and dont care..

Awsome video, my Grandma suffered thru one TIA finally having a major stroke and life wasn't the same for her, even the incentive of being taken to my daughters Christening and she was straining on the komode and that was that. Broke my heart I was also the one to have to ring all the family and break it to them.

Thank you doc ! Very useful info ! You are thee best doc ! You explain so well - I don’t think anyone is there who can’t follow what you speak- simple easy explanation ! God bless you! ❤️👏👌🙏

Thank you for such an important video Dr. Ekberg. I can't think of anyone who can explain a stroke the way you do...not even my doctor. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos...it really matters! Hope you have a blessed day!😊

I had my first TIA about 5 years ago and a second one about 2 years ago. I am still improving my lifestyle and keep a close eye on myself. I still have a little ways to go with dietary changes but I don't keep sweets in my home. I used to eat a lot of chips and sweets but I have improved tremendously. I smiled at the progress I've made yesterday while in the store because I thought I wanted a small variety pack of chocolate candies and they were only $1.00 but I thought about it and I felt sick to my stomach so I put it back. I have broken quite a few bad habits by visualizing the damage the bad habits were doing to my body. It has worked miracles in my life! Thank you for sharing this information! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

Thank you Dr.Ekberg, for being so informative. Reality doesn’t hit us until we experience it first hand. But awareness can help us to focus better on the unexpected occurrence.

Thank you for this. My dad had a TIA in December 2020 and three weeks later had a full stroke. He had a cardioid endarterectomy in the February and has been okay since. Yesterday he thought he lost his speech and ended up in urgent care, they did a CT scan which is useless in picking up TIAs normally. They said it wasn’t a stroke. Just hoping he’ll be okay. 😢

Dr Sten, you are an excellent educator🌹

Before my 2 in 1 stroke. I was taking 11 different chronic meds. After 2 weeks in a coma and given less than % chance of waking up, I woke up. It was like a body reset. 3 years since my right eye staring at my nose. Couldn't remember anything. I am I would say 99% okay. Still work on my memory, doing as much physical work as my back allows, trying to find a meal plan that works for me and thanking God for sparing me. 🙏🏻

Until I watched the video, I felt like I was going to have a stroke at any moment, but I got away with it. Thanks for the info, it's really scary😊

Dr Sten Ekberg is doing a very good job putting out this video which if anyone who understood the importance of knowing these early signs, can truly save themselves from the possibility of suffering life-destroying strokes. I have seen many around me suffer from the aftermath of strokes all because they do not take the warning signs seriously. It is your health, your body, and therefore your responsibility to do whatever it takes to stay healthy and avoid illnesses. No one can do it for you, only you alone can do it for yourself. Those who understand and value their health and body will have learned something from this video. There will be many who think getting a stroke is due to bad luck and only happen to other people. Whatever it is, you alone will benefit or suffer the consequences of the effort put in by you or NOT in the coming future. Just so you remember this well. Thank you Dr Ekberg for all the very educational videos, may heaven rewards you for your contributions many times over. 🙏🙏😬

Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your helpful videos! You have encouraged me to control my T2D and change my lifestyle at the age of 69 with your straightforward advice.

And I thought I fainted when I was at a restaurant but now I realize years later it was a mini stroke after you mentioned swallowing wrong. I swallowed too hard, next thing you know I fell down in my seat and the sound of the tea falling down got me back up. It spilled. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at me and it was really embarrassing. Then later my face turned pale. I’m not a smoker or a heavy drinker.

Well put together production.. Thank you for that

Your knowledge’s a life saver.

Dr. Ekberg, thank you for this valuable information!

It's not sticking your head in the sand, it's not wanting to bother your doctor. And getting appointments within a week is very difficult in any case.

There can't be much doubt that this is the most important video I've ever watched. A 20 minute sharp intake of breath. Yikes. Ok, there are changes to be made starting today, now. Thanks Dr Ekberg.

Simple Lifestyle changes are sooo important. Repetitive strain injury (RSI) can preempt a mini stroke. After having whiplash twice in accidents I had a mini stroke at 45 from inactivity while bedridden for 2 weeks. When I stood up, all went black and it was the worst feeling ever. Like standing up dead. Luckily, this only lasted a few seconds. But it took about 2 years to get (almost) full strength back in my left hand and arm. Being an avid reader is also really detrimental as the neck is held in the same place for too long. Same with doing puzzles. Blood flow is reduced by reduced neck movement. I'm 76 now and can clearly see how this happens. A sleep machine is a must, and neck massage. And change of seating, many times a day. Don't ignore the simple, lifestyle signs. ❤

Tack så mycket - önskar du hade din praktik i södra Kalifornien där vi bor, jag hade velat bli din patient. Men så småningom skall vi flytta i närheten av GA. Än en gång tack så mycket. Valuable information

Thank you Dr.Sten Elkberg for sharing expert professional knowledge on these important health subjects.

Very well explained, very important to get refreshed and updated. Thank you

I had 2 TIAs. Never had a full stroke. It was 21 years ago and 23 years ago! I got lucky because they gave me TPA

This is the most detailed I've ever heard or seen. I really appreciate this.

Signs of a mini stroke - sudden fatigue and sleepiness during the day, slowed cognition, memory issues and brain fatigue. Have your Carotid Arteries checked if you are over 50 with an Ultrasound. Carotid artery blockage is a common and not often discussed cause of strokes.

I once was not feeling well and it got worse as the day went on. I finally decided to go to the hospital. Walking in, it felt like I was walking in beach sand. They took 1 look at me and rushed me to the back. They thought I was having a stroke. I didn't recognize the signs until after that. The end result, I was having something the doctor referred to as a complex migraine that mimics the signs of a stroke. I found out afterwards that the left side of my face was showing signs of paralysis. That was not a fun day but at least it ended well.

I'm glad to hear that your episode turned out to be a complex migraine rather than a stroke, Jamie. It can be concerning when symptoms mimic those of a stroke, but it's always important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious conditions. Wishing you good health moving forward.

This is a truly clear and informative video on strokes which when taken to heart will avoid a lot of injury, pain, and unfortunate consequences. Thank you dr Ekberg for patiently teaching all we need to know to avert such a situation in such a clear, concise and unrushed manner .

I am losing half the vision in my right eye for a minute or two and it would clear up. They did emergency surgery on my carotid artery in my neck. They put me on statins and it worked in the opposite, my HDL went through the floor and the LDL skyrocketed. The crazy thing about it, is there is no info about it, maybe I'm the first. I told my doctor that the operation didn't cure the vision loss. That was two years ago and I still haven't got any satisfaction. I have raised the subject every time I have seen him and still nothing. Thank God that he left the West coast of Canada and moved back East, so I got another doctor in the same office and lucky to get one, as there is a real shortage of doctors. I hope that my new doctor will push the right buttons and get the medical ball rolling again before I have a major stroke.

Thank you, Dr Ekberg, you're excellent at explaining.

Great topic, father just had a stroke a month ago. I think he didn’t take the warning signs seriously enough unfortunately, he did get a double thrombectomy within an hour.

Great video! Thanks for all the great info!
