Hello:

I was given improper medical treatment(as so stated by a few dr's.) which ended me up in the ER with a subendocardial infarction.
At the time of the incident, my BP dropped to 42/38...I seen dots, tunnel vision, chest pain etc. and headaches on 6/8/01. My blood test showed my heart making treponins...Next thing I knew was I was in intensive care.
They put me on 50 mg of Atenol since, but I have headaches, loss of short term memory
and I stutter when I try to formulate long sentences or words that need thinking about.
Like a menu...I read up a little on strokes and they all mention slurred speech...I don't slur but boy do I stutter....It's a shame in America that people where I go now laugh at it...
Anyway, the neurologist says it is either
lack of sleep due to another injury or I caused slight brain damage due to the BP drop.
Help!!!Does stuttering make it a possible stroke....Thanks

Followup on my own:

Nuerologist has me scheduled for an EEG tomorrow...Guess I'll find out if it is symptom.....

Had the EEG.....The administrator of the test would only tell me that one area showed more electrical response or a bump....She would not tell me any more.....The doctor never called me back to explain further....
Help..Any thoughts?
