[QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 3071722, member: 67"]
I was home alone and felt dizzy, saw stars, lips numbed and my fingers tingly.  I sat down and it went away,  Got up and 10 minutes later it returned.  Not feeling right I went to the medical clinic.  Didn't come back home for 4 days.  Diagnosed with a stroke.

To this day they still haven't pinpointed the cause but I am now on HBP meds.  Think it was a lack of blood to the brain (clogged vessel).  I can't speak for the OP as each situation is different, however a full recovery is certainly possible, but expect long term or permanent issues.

My friends (who have had a stroke) and I have these two issues many minor:

Memory loss (forgetting names, places, etc.)
Forgetfulness (not closing doors, misplaced items

If there is a loss of movement (arm, hand, legs even balance) then therapy can help recover strength.  Victims can do all the things they used to do but periodically will show mental signs of the stroke.  Should be no worries.  Hopefully if diet or weight loss changes are recommended the victim adheres to the doctor's orders.

Again this is the minor stroke situation, the major stroke is much more problematic and life changing.

This is not a professional opinion but a personal experience one.
