I had a stroke at 49 and it happened in a manner similar to this young lady. I also first started talking jibberish that sounded perfectly fine to me but my patient started to give me strange looks as did my office assistant. I then tried to walk out of the room and fell twice like I had just been hammered by a Tyson right hand. Luckily one of my best friends is a neurologist with an office down the hall and he came in, literally picked me up, put me in his car and I was in the ER in about 5 minutes from the start of my symptoms. Undiagnosed hypertension was the culprit, yeah docs can be be unbelievably stupid when it comes to their own health.Very quick action and the immediate lowering of my pressure helped minimize the damage and I was back in my office 6 weeks later with minimal residual problems. I was and am a very lucky guy. And I never hesitate to buy my buddy a drink in thanks!
Glad you are OK and thank God for your Buddy.
I have unfortunately learned in the past few weeks that many of these symptoms can also be attributed to Glioblastoma Multi Forme( GBM - Brain Cancer) where the tumor begins to affect the frontal lobe. Of course, a stroke is much more common. My father had many of these symptoms at the end of December and was was diagnosed with an orange sized GBM (in both Hemispheres) in January. My family is learning what an evil thing this monster is. I hate to say it, but I wish it were a stroke instead.
