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.

I'm having some issues with my hands; there's this strange tingling or jhanjhanahat that I can't shake off. It feels like my immunity isn't up to par lately, and I'm also feeling really cold all the time. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Postnasal drip or nasal discharge can be a concern. Possible causes: 1. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 2. _Sinusitis_: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses can cause nasal discharge. 3. _Anatomical issues_: Deviated septum, nasal polyps, or other structural problems can contribute to nasal discharge. 4. _Infections_: Cold, flu, or other respiratory infections can cause nasal discharge. To address the issue: 1. _Consult an ENT specialist_: Rule out underlying conditions that may require medical attention. 2. _Use saline nasal sprays_: Help moisturize the nasal passages and thin out mucus. 3. _Try steam inhalation_: Ease congestion and promote mucus clearance. 4. _Maintain good hygiene_: Regularly clean your nose and surroundings to prevent infection. Monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if: 1. _Discharge is yellow or green_: May indicate infection. 2. _Discharge is bloody_: Requires immediate medical attention. 3. _Symptoms worsen or persist_: Consult your doctor for further guidance.

I've been dealing with some really annoying symptoms lately. Just a day ago, I had this crazy high fever of 103.6 and it came with loose motions. The fever went down after a day of rest and taking just 2 crocins. But now, a day later, something odd is happeningI can't seem to remember names or strings of characters that I used to know. I initially shrugged it off, thinking I was overthinking it, but it's been a constant thing throughout the day. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on here?

In most cases, memory issues after a high fever and loose motions are temporary and are often related to post-viral fatigue, dehydration, or the body recovering from the stress of illness. However, if the symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other concerning signs, its important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying causes. In the meantime, staying hydrated, getting proper rest, and maintaining a balanced diet will help support your recovery.
