Why do my mums eyes look toward ceiling and roll she is 87 and had massive stroke right side caused by af also on tsp of fluid and purée diet refusing to eat with nurses but ate all.yogurt with me. Discharge nurse informed home that she took meds yesterday but not today gp has now taken her of all meds and prescribed diamorphine and midazolam seems drastic from paracetamol a day ago and seems a rash decision on the nurses part.
Hello! I read carefully your question and understood your concern. I think that all these symptoms are caused by the large stroke, causing a big damage to her brain. The fact that she refuses to be fed by the nurses may be a sign of depression or negativism which is very often after a massive stroke. The eye problems may be caused by the damage to the brain areas responsible for the eye movements. Unfortunately there is not much you can do to improve this. I would recommend a lot of physiotherapy. I would recommend to consult her with a psychiatrist. I think that an antidepressant would be very helpful to her situation. I would certainly recommend to continue on anticoagulation therapy which is essential for the prevention of a second stroke. Hope to have been of help! Greetings! Dr. Aida
