Just released from hospital after possible stroke. Same thing in 2007. CTs, MRIs, Echos, etc, all negative for stroke. Have had migraines in the past, and had a very bad headache a week ago, 4 days prior to admission to hospital, but it didn't seem like a migraine I've experienced before (not as bad). No diagnosis except right sided weakness. My dad has had several strokes so it concerns me about what to do if this happens again. Don't want unneccesary admissions to hospital and tests that are always going to come back negative (but very thankful they do). The first admission in 2007 had no headache history. Also, have not had what I thought was a true migraine in years. Any advice?
