Hello,

Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

This symptoms does not appear to be the side effect of the medication. I am afraid she is having/possible stroke. Stroke occurs due inadequate blood circulation in the brain (either due to a bleeding or block). It is possible that there was a stroke in the Right side of her brain causing the weakness in the left side of the body.

This might be a serious condition which will require further testing like a CT scan of the head. I recommend visiting ER. I understand this could be a tough decision, but I am afraid you have got no other options.

As of now please take she can properly swallow. If she is taking any food or liquid make sure that she is in upright position to avoid aspiration.

Hope this helps
Please DO feel free to ask followup questions.

Thank you

Well, one need not always have any obvious risk factor for a stroke. Features like Involvement of face, swallowing problems etc depend on which blood vessel is affected. So stroke can very well present with or without these features.

Stress/ Over exertion can cause some confusing "Neurological" like symptoms, but mostly it will be bilateral (both sides) and symptoms will be vague. When the symptoms are confined to one side, it is sign calling out for evaluation. One sided weakness and unsteadiness suggests an organic (real) cause most of the times.

I am not saying this is 100% stroke. But stroke is highly likely and this is an alarm sign for evaluation. May it could be a TIA - or mini stroke or TIA.

Hope this helps
