What Causes The Feeling Of Blockage From The Center Of The Head To The Right Side Of The Head?

Posted on Tue, 11 Jul 2023

Question: My wife is having feelings of blockage shooting from the top centre of her head to the right front part of her brain - which she describes as her dead zone as she had a clot stroke 15 years ago when she was 34. Can you tell me what's going on with her?

Brief Answer:
MRI

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please do not take it lightly especially as your wife had a past history of stroke also.

Are you having some weakness or numbness of any body part or any unusual feature?

As you have taken aspirin plus ibuprofen do not take more drug.
For pain, you may take paracetamol.

And please rush to the emergency to check the status of BP and ECG etc.

I recommend an urgent MRI or CT brain.

Further treatment can be decided after tests.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
