Hi my mom was found unconscious in her chair at 10 am today. Doctor suspects a stroke. She was rushed to hospital at 1 pm now 9 pm still unresponsive ct scan confirms stroke can she recover and how long. 74 years old, has high blood pressure, on medication for it, does not smoke not diabetic can you help please.
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that the recovery from stroke depends on the region of the brain affected by the stroke. You should know that in the brain it is not a matter of dimensions. There are certain areas of the brain, which can cause severe consequences even in millimeters of damage. So, we can not judge based on her symptoms her possible recovery. I recommend discussing with her attending physician on the above issue. Kind regards,
