71 Years. Urge To Sleep, Slower Speech. No Other Symptoms. Healthy Lifestyle. Possible Stroke?
My friend is female, age 71. She is experiencing a desire to sleep and a slowing - not slurring - of her speech. No other symptoms. She is fearful of stroke. What do you think? She is vert active, doing zumba and body conditioning 5 to 6 days per week. I am using the guest option on my computer and it won't accept email. Your system asks for my email address but I won't get any email response here.
Hi, your friend aged 71 years has an urge to sleep, slowing of speech. It may be age related, due to less blood supply of blood to the brain, ischemia of brain, anemia, defeciency of the proteins, vitamins, or trace elements. I advise you to consult her a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
