I am now 62 yrs old. Had my stroke in 2011. Had the same symptoms, except for the vomiting part. I had major headache (11:45 pm, ??) and had a hard time figuring out how to dial ph no.'s, could not stand enough to change clothes, hardly. Fell into a chair when got to lower level in house and watched the walls bounce up and down for a few minutes (this was the strangest part for some reason and not sure why I remember it). My son took me to ER, was told also that I had Vertigo and sent home. Next 2 days I still had major headache, felt slightly dizzy, so when to local clinic and just happened to have traveling MRI truck there that day and did a scan, just to rule out a possible stroke. It did show a Cerebellar Stroke did happen. Then of course everything changes and we tried to figure out the cause, which we never were able to confirm.
I suffered with headaches everyday for over a year I think, as soon as I opened my eyes in am, they would start. Does anyone else suffer from this?
Until a one day I thought maybe I was having a TIA, that spooked me alittle and stopped at a different clinic for fear it was happening again. After telling him the whole story, he prescribed propranolol. Which really helped, in my case.
