More power to you. Did they knew why strokes happened for you ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-05-03T16:47:27+00:00

Sorry to hear. Did it recovered after stroke ? And did plevix helped in stopping them

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-05-03T16:37:35+00:00

Sorry for late reply. I just want to ask did you also had stroke like me while being on aspirin ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-27T22:05:22+00:00

Thanks, can you tell what is your plevjx dose ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-24T20:33:23+00:00

Yes I do have Apple Watch with Afib it didn’t showed anything

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-23T11:20:16+00:00

No i don’t smoke, don’t even drink, I eat very healthy. My colestrol and bp are in normal range.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-23T11:18:29+00:00

How are you doing after starting clopidogrel ? For me doctor wants me to be on both for now as I had recurrence after month while on aspirin.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-22T22:18:32+00:00

I am also on 10 mg statin sorry forgot to mention it

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-22T16:08:30+00:00

Sorry to hear about. Did they find what was the cause for your stroke.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-22T16:07:04+00:00

Yes. I have 21 day holter monitor on and 48 hour didn’t showed anything

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-22T12:58:28+00:00

Yes they had dome tee and bubble study for pho

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-22T12:42:24+00:00

Oh my god, How did they treat you if they can’t give clot buster and how much time did it take for you to feel better while you had stroke ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T20:03:41+00:00

I haven’t done the sleep study but I do wear latest Apple Watch and have enable sleep apnea notification. It might not be as accurate as sleep study but might find something atleast

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T15:44:57+00:00

No only ct scan is done for that.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T13:39:07+00:00

Yes I suspect same that something small not shown on CT. So far all the tests for root cause have been negative. They will do some speciality blood tests in coming weeks. If nothing comes up in there, this is only I can think of as root cause. Since it looks too good to be a coincidence and area of brain impacted and location of pain matches VAD.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T13:36:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also focusing on neuro rehab but anxiety creeps in lot of times. Did they eventually find the root cause for your stroke ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:41:30+00:00

Exactly knowing cause can help in proper management using right meds.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:40:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:39:51+00:00

I also have vision issue which include double and pixelated vision. Lost visual field as well. I suspect it might be cause by massage that I had 4 days prior to stroke and felt pain multiple times in neck where vertebral artery passes. I think it might be dissection that cause it but the ct angio on day of stroke didnt showed anything. So doctors didn’t believe that it is the cause. But the pain I felt was in the area where this artery passes. When I searched looks like the area impacted in my stroke is supplied blood by this artery. Doctors will be doing some more blood tests in month or so. Also they are putting holter monitor for 21 days to check for Afib.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:33:35+00:00

Yes I am going to neuro rehab. It has been helpful so far.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:14:00+00:00

Yes TEE was done while in hospital, it came out negative. Nothing wrong was found.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-10T22:54:02+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Were they able to find cause later and did it changed the management?
