Hi i'm new and really worried at this
point. My husband had a heat stroke 3
weeks ago and they told him he need to see
a heart doc and a head doctor right away.
But with no insurance that is kindof
hard. He goes tomorrow to see if he can
get medicaid so he can find out what is
wrong with him. For awhile now he gets
real dizzy for no reason and now his right
eye is blurring on him. Also he can't
lift anything, his shoulders are so weak.
Other things include slured speech at
times, and he's always tired. Does
anyone know what these syntoms sound like?
Heart diseases and stroke are often
connected because atherosclerosis affects
both heart and brain arteries. Risk
factors for developing atherosclerosis
are: smoking, increased blood fats
(cholesterol and triglycerides), increased
blood glucose (diabetes), hypertension,
overweight, stress, older age etc.
Does your husband have any of these risk
factors?
Dizziness, weak shoulders and disturbed
speech can be consequences from the
stroke, and presence of some heart
disease?
