Signs of a stroke?


my grandmother has been having horrid migraines and was taken to the er on mothers day - she was sent home with meds and told just to take meds as needed and the migraine shouldnt return -

well she continued to have the migraines and vomit and she went to florida sunday - with my aunts and the grandkids - (we live in nj) she flew alone -

anyway shes in florida and still having migraines and vomitting - now she has slurred speech and is leaning to the left -

whats happening??!?!?!?!?!!

they are in the er now - and i am awaiting news

any insight??

thanks!

I work on a Nero floor which deals primarily with Stroke patients. Those sound to be classic symptoms of a stroke. Not to frighten you. Usually you see headaches, elevated blood pressure, facial droop, slurred or absent speech and weakness on one side of the body. I hope all goes well for her and your family.

Hope this helps!!
