Most doctors don't bother even when you report issues to them.
I went blind out of no where for some minutes and I still haven't been seen😢
Thanks for the video! Doc, can you next please make a video about blood donation, what to eat and what to do the day and day after blood donation? Any tips for nutrition?
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?
My dad was a vegan and had non of the above 8. But when you got to 9 Bingo lots of stress and he also lived 7 minutes walking distance from the pacific highway in Brisbane.
Can you address in a video your best guess regarding restless leg syndrome? Thank you
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!
Thank you, Sara! And well done on your recovery!
@@eggbenedict-gt7mw not sure I get your comment? Nor do I think your funny!
@@saraclark8611 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bcoz u know what i mean
@@eggbenedict-gt7mw what are you actually saying? It’s unclear.
yes great advice. Too bad many doctors drop the ball though
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.
Thanks for sharing...We all learn from others stories because it matters what we know when something will happen.
That is amazing
God bless you both.
@@SeanPannella Thank you! He is one tough Marine. 😀
@@ioma6 Thank you! God bless you too. 🙏
My daughter had a stroke at age 17. She was on an oral contraceptive. She suffered loss of ability to move. Unable to speak. The blockage was in the centre of her brain and took a procedure to reduce the clot.
She recovered with care and prayer 🙏🏼.
Went on to have 2 children and is an amazing woman accomplishing many things as she believes she has been given a second chance.
What caused this at age 17 years old?
I had an arterial retinal occlusion TIA that resulted in partial permanent vision loss in one eye. I was 29 y.o. It too was due to oral contraceptive. I was told to take an asprin a day for the rest of my life and was no longer able to take the pill.
Thank you to the docs and science. F your imaginary friends. The audacity of trash to give thanks to ish that don’t exist.
@@emilylee9894Estrogen levels can cause blood clots to form. I had a DVT in my leg when I was pregnant. They put me on Heparin which is a blood thinner.
@@bdmbpm1467I never took the pill in my life due to having a DVT during pregnancy. The high estrogen levels during pregnancy caused the Dvt. I was lucky to not suffer a stroke or a pulmonary embolism.
I had a stroke back in 2014 while I was at work, I didn't know what was going on with me, I thank God Almighty I recovered well🙌🙌
Some are lucky and minor side effects. Some not so lucky and paralised from the neck down. I had a minor stroke, took pills and changed diet. Only my left foot has no feelings. Had others say they had a stroke. Well friend you are still able to walk and talk. Time to change your diet before it takes your life
My mum had her 5th stroke on 31st July. Then she had a 6th stroke in hospital. She's being made comfortable to pass away. Her brain was pushed to the side. I love you mum.
❤
❤️❤️❤️ sending you love , I’m so sorry.
Blessings to your dear mum. Sending you a big cyber hug. Condolences.
So sorry, my God Grant you strength during this difficult time in your life. My husband just got home from the nursing home after having a heart attach and stroke. He had 7-8 strokes 6 years ago and now this one. Thank the Lord he’s doing pretty well right now.
Blessings to you and to your husband. May his health improve soon. @@marytervo5560

I know. You don't get taught this stuff in school, which is very unfortunate. If people knew more about actual health there'd be less obese people guaranteed. I know this video is about strokes but his other food videos I'm taking about.
Thank you @adiggator for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄

He has no idea just how much he does. This man literally saved my life with insulin resistance
Thank you for your great work Dr. Ekberg❤
My late mother-in-law had a very very slow TIA. Her left face slowly deformed for a few days, if not weeks. My wife decided to bring her to E.R. The doctor found out she's having TIA. She went to leaved 20+ years after the TIA without anymore incident related to stroke. Glad we caught it.
That's fortunate that your wife recognized the signs and took prompt action. Catching a TIA early can be crucial for preventing further incidents. It's great to hear that your mother-in-law lived 20+ years without any stroke-related incidents. Wishing you and your family continued health and well-being. 🙏❤🌟
She had angels on her side, if anybody is going to have a stroke, that is the preferred.
In what way was she treated by her doctors to result in her long term recovery?
Was she put on blood thinners or any other medication or given some other type of treatment?
My son had a stroke at 2 at a playground 😢hes been left with a significant impairment since...hes now 30...its been a journey ❤
🙏🩷
Bless you both mamma .❤
❤🙏❤
He's too young to have a stroke. Was he vaccinated for COVID or something?
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 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. 💕
My mom died after a massive stroke. If we can prevent others from going through it, thank you for the awareness.
Did she die immediately
@@carmella88 no. She hung on for about a week (hospital had her sedated) before she went.
@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg im so sorry
My mom just collapsed, my sister called 911, then she called me. I got to the hospital, knew mom would be gone very soon...she passed within minutes.
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
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
Immediately after stroke #1 take "TOCOTRIENOLS" only , #2 dial 911 or race to ER
I think I had the same a week ago in the office, I have been taking BP meds since 2yrs ago but this afternoon, when talking and laughing out round with my colleagues, I felt my head blood vessels ache and immediately something took over my brain and body for like 5secs, I could see my colleagues but couldnt hear them laugh, I had no control of my body and it felt like I was too high on 2lts of Jameson whisky. 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.
Time is the key.
I had a stroke in my sleep. I woke up in the morning slured speech. My husband drove me to the hospital. It was 2020. Now my right side is weaker, my energy lower, and my tongue is often a little stiff.
My Uncle had a stroke and they put him in a medically induced coma to see if they could save him, but a few days later when they tried to bring him out of it they found he was braindead. Very heartbreaking. 😢
My anxiety does not need this right now😭
I had a bi lateral ishemic in 2012. Only sign was a severe headache for 6 weeks, thought it was caused by a concussion through Rugby.
Will never be the same as before.
Look at the person I am today with positivity and a complete different lifestyle..
Stay positive survivor's and don't forget to smile every day.
Regards from Scotland.
A headache for 6 weeks followed by a stroke sounds brutal. I hope you're doing better now. Best regards to you!
When you had “a severe headache for 6 weeks”, you mean every day for straight 6 weeks ? Sorry to ask because English is not my first language and I really want to know. Hope you are well and healthy right now🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤😭. Than you 🙏
I had a stroke in my sleep 2020. I miss the old me.

I can totally relate to this ., Thank you for sharing!
I had an ischemic stroke in 2013. I did a lifestyle change immediately, no smoking cigs, eating better foods, and exercise! I started off looking at some of dr. Ekbergs videos and my life changes! Thanks for the info! This ch. is everything
Good for you for making the best decision for your health… so happy. the truth is tough but lies are tougher.
What kind of food were you eating
@@yourhacked5603 I ate anything I wanted and knew I had high blood pressure. Fried chicken, fast food, vodka, and cigarettes! I knew what could happen but didn’t think it would happen to me. I’m just happy and thank god I’m still here to tell people my testimony❤️
@@vicariouswitness thank you 😊.
@@Galaxy-Goat I was 46 yrs old.
Had a TIA 3 weeks ago. Going for a carotid artery stint in 2 weeks and I'm trying so hard to trust the Lord. I've never been sick or overweight by much, but I've had high blood pressure for years. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for such a thorough explanation!
@egyptcat4301: My gut tells me you will be okay. : )
My mother had a TIA about 25 years ago from a blocked carotid artery (she used to smoke). She had surgery on the artery and it got blocked again years later (she started smoking again) had a stent inserted into the artery and she quit smoking for good afterwards. She is about to turn 87 soon. Good luck with your stent surgery.🙏🙏🙏
Best wishes for your return to health! Blessings upon you!
Begin to say Thank You because you will be Ok.
Praying God's healing power flows through every part of you! Im The Name of Jesus Amen ❤️🔥
Fantastic video. Dr. Ekberg has a gift of being able to explain health issues so the average person can understand. Thank you Doc!
He has a present of being able to explain health problems so most people can understand
Hold it a moment there Marcia ! All of us here, yourself included, are Health Champions not average. 🥑🥩🏆
@@SpamMouse 😂😂😂 of course. When I use the term "average", I'm speaking about those who have no medical training. Or a person who is hungry (no pun intended) to begin a new journey to achieve optimal health. A newbie! 😀😀😀
Thank you @mjequality. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄

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.
SO sorry
Bless his heart.
Thank you all for caring. 💓
So sad!
A mother and father like you is a blessing - God bless you all love will help you all each day.
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.
My niece had a DOUBLE hemorrhagic stroke after CV-shots. She was hospitalized for 5 weeks but has returned to near normal; a real MIRACLE. It took almost a year before one of the MDs finally told her maybe she shouldn't get any more of those injections.
Sorry about your niece, glad she’s ok now. Those shots do much more damage than is allowed to be reported.
@@DChristinaThanks. There is so much censorship of REALITY.
@@1charlastar886-Absolutely right. Look how they demonized all the doctors, scientists & virologists standing up to Pfizer etc &the covid propaganda.
What are cv shots?
@@charlesstuart1119- corona virus or covid virus
My mother experienced her first TIA approximately five years ago.. she’s going to be 92 in July. Each one becomes more severe. She still lives at home by herself. Someone comes in and checks on her every day. My sister drives two hours every Sunday and stays with her till Tuesday making sure she has meals prepared doctors appointments, and so forth.
My mothers condition is deteriorating her. Each TIA takes away more of her awareness of reality.
It’s a cruel way to go.
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.
I'm glad you trusted your instincts and advocated for your mom's health, Sandy. Your awareness of her unusual word choice and persistence in getting her the necessary medical attention made a significant difference. It's unfortunate that she experienced such a perfect storm of stressors, but the quick intervention played a crucial role in her nearly full recovery. Wishing her continued healing and strength. 🙏❤🌟
@@healthinfotipss thank you so much
@sandyedwards2681-So glad your mom recovered. How high did her blood pressure go up, before the stroke?
In the MRI, was a dye, contrast used via an I.V?
@@specialstone9153 no I don’t believe so
I'd like to point out that many of the described symptoms or caution signals might also be somatized by people with anxiety disorders, or even anyone who starts overthinking, fearing or getting obsessed on this issue
I’m one of those ppl!!
I had a TIA about 2 years ago. I had prediabetes, under extreme stress due to being kept in a foreign and not allowed to leave due to covid travel restrictions, ate only peanut butter and nutella (as that was available at this remote place), unable to sleep. I was depressed and malnourished. I was away from my husband and kids for nearly 2 years.
Woke up, couldn't lift my arms. My eyesight and balance was wrong. Could see jumpy figures in the corner of my eye. Peeing constantly. Had tingling pain tips of my toes. My speech was blurred. I couldn't remember short term events. I was getting more depressed, anxious and paranoid.
When I managed to get back to uk, it has taken me two years to get back to full health.
I eat healthily. Cut sugar out. My eyesight hss improved. No more tingling. Blood sugar and high blood pressure down.
Adapted walking regularly. Exercising. Weight training. Going vegetarian. I take coconut oil with my espresso. Taking care of my gut bacteria. Cleaning my teeth regularly.
I am back to full health. Unstressed. I have a different outlook in life.
I am for the living. Grateful for the past experience. Thankful to Dr Ekberg for explaining things.
Thank you again Doc. 😊
Congrats! Where have you been, where do people live on Nutella and Peanutbutter only?

I’m very curious to know what country you were in also. I’m so sorry you went through that, and I’m so glad you are better!
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.
What kind and brand and MG magnesium u taking please?
@The Winner magnesium citrate and whichever is least expensive when I need to restock. I don't read the brand on the label. I read the "contains/ingredients" and dosage amount instead.

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.
Glad you're okay
I guess it's caused by what you eat
Thank you for sharing your experience, David. It's important to recognize the warning signs you experienced, such as the shooting pains and Horner's Syndrome. Your story serves as a reminder to pay attention to any unusual symptoms and seek medical attention promptly. Wishing you continued health and well-being. 🙏❤🌟
I don’t understand, you had symptoms for about a month, a week and an hour, including a drooping eye and small pupil, but you still never went to a doctor ? Why not ?
@@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.
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.
I had a TIA last August. I presented with double vision. Scared the liver out of me. I immediately did research and started keto lifestyle and intermittent fasting. Since then, I have lost 30 pounds, my A1C dropped to normal and I am no longer prediabetic. My cholesterol also dropped to normal levels without a statin. I also bought a stationary bike with iFit. I’m 71 and I feel better than I have for about 20 years. I love your videos and in depth explanations that I can understand. 😊
Was your double vision resolved ? Sorry to bother you and ask. I have been waiting for three years for mine to return. Losing hope, but if yours did resolve, then maybe i have a chance. It confuses and makes me agitated to see double. I am blessed for some reason, real close up is okay.
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.
My Dad had a hemorrhagic stroke and lived seven years before dying. He had to relearn to speak, to eat, to write, to shave, etc.; however, he was able to do all of those things before his death. After leaving the hospital, my Dad shaved while my Mom and I watched with amazement at how well he did.
😱🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
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!
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.
That is totally scary
Jane here great presentation to understand well had a few little TIAs
It's very kind of Dr Eckberg to help us avoid illness and/or heal.
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! ❤
May I ask what you eat in a day
All the best. I’d like to be on the carnivore diet but my finances won’t allow it. The price of food in Canada is atrocious . I’m fairly low carb though

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
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. ❤
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 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.
Hemiplegic migraines.
Unfortunately there is an increased risk of stroke among migraine sufferers
@@nicolaxoxo1 Luckily I had this 1 time. I started to happen again but ibuprofen and Tylenol stopped it. I haven't had 1 since 2019 and have drastically improved my health so there is a chance that I have reversed my risk.
@@ellesamuse The description seems to line up except I had no auras. It matches closer than the other common causes. An MRI ruled out a stroke or TIA. Maybe I'm just an oddity and don't get the auras.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙏🏻
11 meds...crazy, how many do you take today?
I'm glad to hear that you have made a significant recovery, EM R. It's inspiring to see your determination in working on your memory and overall well-being. Gratitude can be a powerful force in healing. Keep up the positive mindset and continue taking care of yourself.
You're a wonderful teacher Sten! Thank you for the simplification of this issue.
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😊
My friend had a stroke and he developed aphasia due to the stroke. His communication is doing a lot better now.
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
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.
I had TIA in 2014. My speech center was affected. I was not able to speak. It was called aphasia. I thought it was the end on me. I am really intentional in recovering my health to prevent another one. Thank you for this lecture❤❤❤
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. 😢
I hope so too❤
Thank you ❤
All the best for you and your family
Dec 1, 5 , 22 and Jan 11, 19, 20, 25
Praying for you and your dad. ❤
Love this guy... He focuses his message to where it can really make a Difference 💪🫀
Thank you Doctor 🙏 💙
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.
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 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!😊
You're absolutely right, angelfriend! Dr. Ekberg's ability to explain complex medical topics in a clear and understandable way is truly commendable. His dedication to educating and helping others is evident in his videos. Wishing Dr. Ekberg a blessed day as well! 🌟🙏😊
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. 🙏🙏😬
You are always a true inspiration to me Doc. Thanks for what you do.
Facing a stoke and listening information about it are two things poles apart.
Facing a stoke is big ask. The whole family suffers.
WHAT AN EXCELLENT EXPLANATION DR. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE INFORMATION, NOT ALL DOCTORS CAN EXPLAIN AS DETAILED AND CLEAR AS YOU DO!❤❤❤
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 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 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.
The 1st time I had a TIA I had gone to the post office from work. I got light headed and my left arm felt lifeless. They told me to drive myself back to work! It seemed to subside a bit but came again at work.. and I was told to drive myself to the hospital! My BP was really flying up and I got nitroglycerin. They gave me 4 81 mg Aspurin and had my husband drive me to a city for a scan. They found nothing. I had another one a few months later and the hospital just told me to chew Aspirin. So when I had a mild heart attack that year I rode it out and never went to the hospital. Now I just watch my chest tension and when I'm pushing too hard I stop to bring my heart rate to normal. One doctor sent me to a specialist and I passed the stress test and a mild blockage was found in one spot. I think the stress if my marriage was the biggest cause and that will soon be over legally.
Very clear, systematic presentation. So informative. Thank you for being so compassionate as well as professional.
Thank YOU Dr. Sten Ekberg! ALL the things I NEED to know.
My daughter had one when she was 18 with permanent damage. She is 42 and have a handsome 7 years old that keeps her busy and moving.
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.
Had a hemorrhagic stroke 7 years ago. I had double vision on and off. Never realized that it was 50/50 survival. I was able to get back to work after 4 mos. Have worked ever since. I lost use of my right side for a few weeks. Then went into physical therapy for a month after. Had to relearn to walk. I had high BP.
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.
Age 17 , so early , TAKE GOOD CARE , FULLY HEALED ..WITH DR. ' S ADVICE
I'm in very good health at 58 and had a stroke last April without ANY warnings whatsoever. After countless testing it turns out mine was caused from me taking a daily low dose Tadalafil. Why? Because I have lower than average blood pressure in the mornings due to low cortisol levels. BP of 95/60 and tends to increase to 110/70 by the afternoon. Had to get more rest to recover my cortisol levels/adrenal glands, but no way will I ever take any vasodilator again. There is a risk to everything and vasodilators can cause strokes but it is very rare, BUT it's only rare IF you are not the one having a stroke. Luckily I recovered but I still feel a little loss of coordination on my right side. Hope this helps someone who MAY be taking a vasodilator.
Glad you stopped taking unnecessary meds. My mom & I both have very low BP like you, just stay hydrated to pump it up a little. Many people WISH they had BP like ours.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for taking care of us!
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.
I have a really diligent endocrinologist who caught some abnormal blood work and diagnosed me with Antiphospholid Antibody Syndrome. I take blood thinners and believe that his care is prolonging my life. I think I probably would have just dropped from a stroke without this diagnosis.
I love you to do a video doctor on why does HRT or birth control pills increase the risk for a stroke
My dad died from a stroke. My doctor asked about family history, and when I told him, my dad had died from an aneurism, she sent me for an MRI, because some are hereditary. Lucky everything came back fine twice. She did 2 about 5 years apart, so it’s all good for me.
Strokes and aneurysms are 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.. So which was it???
Nice attitude
@@maryc5783 ???
@@cantstanditanymore ok “Doctor” a burst aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke. So one can lead to the other. It started out as a rupture, that lead to a stroke. Have a good day.
@@Bella-gj6wcI don’t understand the attitude. Maybe he misspoke..you don’t need to clap back at him, life is too short
Interesting.
I'll get what I call a "lightning headache". It's rare. Really doesn't happen often at all but it has happened over the years.
I call it that because it's like a lightning bolt shoots through my head for 1-2 seconds.
Never thought much of it because it's quick.
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.
Thank you, Dr. Ekber, for making this so easy to understand.
the best channel on youtube. the best course for everyone is BLOOD WORK.
I just saw a video about the effect of visceral fat on the vascular system . In brain too . The big fight is against visceral fat . Also the fat in muscles have effect on growth and same effect as visceral fat. (Dr Sean O’mara and Dr Berry )Really made me go 100% carnivore to improve many things including blood flow .
Thank you , doc. for your tireless effort . Learned a lot from you .
Thank you Dr.Sten Elkberg for sharing expert professional knowledge on these important health subjects.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for explaining this in a simple, non-technical matter that was very easy to understand. Cheryl Wagner
I had a hemorrhagic stroke. I am still alive 3.5 years later. Thank you Dr EcBerg, I have listened to you and a couple others, and fighting the statistics, I won't even go into the stupidity of the local hospital, or the fight with disability 😢
Dr. Berg? nice guy too :)
@@Dante_Roje he is, but autocorrect
I had one, too, 21 years ago. I am paralyzed on the right side. I was depressed for a while, but my stroke made me realize how tough I really am. I'm exercising (walking). I'm eating right (one or two meals a day). I been listening to Dr. Sten Ekberg for three years now; he is my favorite. Cheers!
@@michaelduffyjohn318 same with my mom. She had a massive stroke a month before turning 45 twenty years ago due to high cholesterol, and even though her right side is paralyzed and has difficulty speaking, she’s the happiest and kindest person I know. She lives on her own, and insists in doing everything by herself. She’s our inspiration!
Thankyou. Doctors just seem to prescribe medication instead of talking about a change in what the person eats. But thats not you. I really appreciate how thorough you are about what really keeps a person healthy.
My husband is doing much better now because he's making healthier choices.
It is up to us to make better food choices, doctors do not care
Have had 4 tia's & knew what was happening each time. I'm an old RN. Still alive and kicking.✨😊✨ with a ❤full of gratitude.
My mother had a “mini stroke” several months before having a massive stroke. Unfortunately her husband refused to have her see a neurologist after the mini stroke. So she wasn’t on medication which might have prevented the massive stroke. Oh and when that massive one happened, he and his son sat there and didn’t call 911 or take her to the ER for 9 hours!! She could not speak or dial the phone so she could not call herself. So she was too late to receive the TPR meds. By some miracle she survived, and it’s now over 10 years later. She didn’t have a lot of physical issues from the stroke, but she lost most of her her speech, reading and writing. Only made some recovery from this with therapy. When you see her brain imaging, there’s a huge black (dead) area. Her husband should have gone to jail for attempted murder IMO.
Because she understands EVERYTHING, but can’t communicate well, it’s very frustrating for her. I see a lot of people treat her like she’s an idiot. Very sad! She was a genius before the stroke and read voraciously. So even with some major brain loss, she is still very intelligent.
Recently she received a novel treatment at The Institute for Neurologic Recovery in Boca Raton Florida. The Dr gives a peri-spinal injection of an Anti TNF drug (Enterecept) which crosses the blood brain barrier as the patient is lying with the head lowered. There has been miraculous improvements in stroke patients and traumatic brain injury patients, even many years post stroke. There is a UA-cam channel and it shows many different patients undergoing the whole procedure and after. They do tests before and after. My mother did much better after the injection. It’s expensive because even though the drug is FDA approved for many years, the drug itself is still very expensive. People come from all over the world for this treatment. It’s the only thing I have ever heard about that can improve stroke patients, whether it’s physical or speech or pain. He has patents for many other uses too. My mother noticed her life long panic attacks and anxiety disappeared after the treatments!
I started taking high dose fish oil after my stroke and it healed my brain completely. I’m not saying it’s a miracle cure but it might be something worth trying with your mother. X
That does sound like attempted murder!
Also, can your mom use a keyboard? You mentioned she can't write, but don't say if it's because she has troubling holding a pen. My mom had a friend who had ALS, and of course she was slowly losing her ability to communicate, though her brain was still fully functioning. Once she couldn't speak anymore, the doctors gave her a machine that allowed her to type in order to communicate.
Did you get her away from these people? Who would leave their wife unable to get up or speak? A monster.
@@Chopsyochops what brand fish oil?
@@Diamondkrystals3350 I’m currently taking 2x paradox fish oil tablets daily. I’m moving onto a new even stronger brand soon as I want extra brain power for studying.

Simple and doable explanation. Thank you
Very well explained, very important to get refreshed and updated. Thank you
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!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
You simply are the best, a gracious human being for educating us. Thank you. I had a TIA a few years ago, it was a huge wake up call when I couldnt repeat a sentence back to the EMT. I recall thinking I know it but I cant say it. Oh thank God above He didn't let me stroke out. I think Covid was affecting me and was a big part of it, thats a whole other discussion.
Thank you doctor. You had explained what happened to my father shortly after his stroke. 😔We weren't exactly what happened but his personality began to change. Ten years before his death we took him to the doctor and got a MRI scan. We discovered a blood clogs forming in his brain. We were encouraged to get him to start exercising and tried to relax. We looked after him as best as we can. The stroke developed into dementia. He passed away in 2016.😥
Dr Sten thank you for the video.
My wife do have low blood pressure but all the other symptoms are their
she wants to sleep all the time and she is losing here balance and sometimes she pass out.
Thank you so much
😇
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for this valuable information!
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.
Thank you Dr Ekberg your videos are reall informative in plain English. Im sure i had a mini mini stroke last weekend so im watching myself very carefully untill i see the Doc again. Wont go into details but all the symptoms i had lead me to that conclusion but nothing showed up at the emergency department after various tests.
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 .
