I am a Hospice nurse. I have a pt that is post-CVA for several years. She has right side paralysis and aphasia. In the past month, she has had several episodes where her respirations slow down, she loses consciousness, her abdomen gets rigid intermittently, and she only breathes between these. One time she exhibited seizure symptoms. This will last from 12-24 hours, then she goes back to normal for a while, sometimes a couple of days, then it happens again. Is she having TIA s?
