What is a pre stroke?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.

Ive been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my head and body are moving even when Im lying down. Sometimes I feel out of balance when Im walking, too. What could be causing this? It's starting to worry me a bit.

You may be experiencing a condition known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or a vestibular balance disorder, characterized by sensations of movement, spinning, or loss of balance, especially when lying down or changing positions; other possible causes include inner ear problems, migraines, or anxiety, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been in the habit of masturbating about three to five times a week. It used to be fine, but last year I started getting this weird needle and pin sensation and numbness in my hands. I stopped for about 10-12 days and the sensations eased up in about a week. But the moment I started again, the sensations came back the very first day. Can you help me understand what's going on with my sexual health? Are there any home remedies you'd suggest?

Your symptoms of needle-like sensations, numbness, and rapid relapse after resuming masturbation suggest a possible condition known as "neurogenic shock" or "over-stimulation neuropathy," which may be related to excessive masturbation, pelvic floor muscle tension, or peripheral nerve compression; consider home remedies like taking regular breaks from masturbation, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), engaging in physical exercise, and applying warm compresses to the genital area to relieve tension; however, consult a urologist, or a neurologist for personalized guidance and to rule out underlying medical conditions.
