My Stroke was about two years ago, I had no or little symptoms at the time, except that I suddenly was very dizzy and my Eyes didn’t go where I wanted them to go ... today was an especially bad day, I had to leave a card store where I looked for cards, I got nauseous and dizzy, barely made it out of the store ... anyone else with those Issues .?

hello hope you are getting better did your dizziness lapse and did it resolve
I thought it was just me, never discussed it with my doctors, great to understand why. I find that it is more intense the more active or busy I am, not as bad when I have had a day to shut things down. It's been just about 6 months since my stroke, still get that tense feeling in my shoulders when this comes one, trying to learn how to relax and hoping it will go away at some point.

I had a cerebellar stroke in June 2023. I woke up with vertigo and I felt nauseous so I tried to get to bathroom but fell face first on carpet no hands. I crawled to my phone and texted my daughter who lives nearby. She came over and called 911. That was a Wednesday at 0530. Am o took me across the street to hospital where they determined I had Kaiser so was transported 20 miles to their hospital. The ct scan didn’t show a stroke. At Kaiser I was given tests but Sunday they were going to release me because I was sleeping a lot. I remember nothing. My dtr told the night nurse that I thought it was 1971 and it became an emergency. I was given an MRI that showed hydrocephalus and a stroke. I was transported to LA where a neurosurgeon put a stent in my braid to relieve the pressure. I was in a coma for 6 days and on a ventilator. I had to learn to walk again but I was throwing up even on the vent. I threw up for 4 months. I was moved to a rehab facility for 2 weeks getting PT. Long story short, it’s been almost 3 years and I’m still feeling like a drunk with dizziness that doesn’t improve. I walk every day and am back at PT. They keep saying I need to keep doing exercises to Improve but it feels worthless. I think they waited too long to decide I had a stroke and treat it. My depression makes me not want to be around people as I’m not fun to be around. Im Hoping some other survivor can shed light and give me hope. TY

I find shopping overwhelming as well. My Neurologist told me it is called brain flooding - too much to process at one time. It makes me feel like I've run a marathan - I get exhausted and I can't keep my eyes open - need to head home for a nap.
