Wow!! One day I was not in forum and so much I missed.
Today the conference I attended had lots of info on stroke.

I should have brought my lap top logged in to TB forum and asked the Consultant there for his opinion about some "very interesting" facts here.

Dr Narayani,Raghy and Prasad and Brahmanyan ji....take good care of this thread till I am back from day 2 of the conference tomorrow.

I am sure you guys get what I mean!!LOL

Note: I would not want to discredit any form of alternative medicine but its just that stroke isn't all about Bleeding and Burst vessels alone.
Aspirin is also only given in Ischeamic Strokes(now there are newer anti clotting agents).
Aspirin is NOT given for Strokes caused by Intracranial Bleed.

Ok would like to share this with you guys:

The Neurologist who gave a lecture today was saying NOT to take Giddiness lightly.
He said there are cases of Ischeamic Stroke which only present with sudden onset of giddiness and nothing else.
Patient could be walking around normally and talking normally.

The neurologist also mentioned if patient is having other risk factors like Hypertension and Diabetes consider doing a MRI brain if giddiness is sudden in onset so that we DO NOT miss out a subclinical stroke.

So do not take giddiness too lightly.
These days lots of diseases are having atypical presentations.
