A: She may be experiencing vasospasm, or has had a clot settle in her hippocampus (the brain structure responsible for memory) or deep in her right cerebral hemisphere, in which case it would be what is called a “silent stroke”.

Pain in left arm joint at the shoulder and left bicep for a female 86 patient is it a stroke sign?

Q: This patient has pre-diabetis, has atrial fillibration and has recently had a pacemaker implant, and she is my mother, so I am really worried. A sound advice is welcome, since she had this pain since 2 hours ago and I already gave her Tylenol arthiris and her pain subsided a little. She has been at the hospital for fast heart beat and this pacemeker implant last December.Thanks, Jimbo49!Thanks, Tina

A: I think she should be on beta blockers to regulate her heart beat and anti inflammatory drugs for her arthritis. She could be suffering from stress pains at the moment and needs to relax more. Gentle walks in the fresh air should also help.(supervised)
