Your symptoms are not consistent for having an acute stroke or stroke in evolution so I would try and seek some help from a good therapist or psychologist to get some of this anxiety under control. I m very sorry your friend had a stroke but you have to remember that he likely had other circumstances or conditions (maybe even born with a defect of some sort), or perhaps he was involved in the use of illicit substances? Or even taking something like too many of these power/energy drinks such as Red Bull, Monster, etc.? Those types of lifestyles are known to lead to increased risk of stroke. No need to equate your situation to that one unless there are risk factors you haven t told me about yet. Please don t forget that your written feedback as well as a STAR RATING to this question are greatly appreciated if you ve found the information of value. And also, CLOSING THE QUERY on your end so that the network may process, archive, and properly credit this case for future reference as well garners my thanks. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly in the future by looking me up on this network and sending questions to my specific attention (Dariush Saghafi, M.D.).
