Cerebral Hypoxia: Can it lead to secondary issues later in life? Can cerebral hypoxia, caused at birth, lead to cerebral or cerebral arterial issues (i.e. brain tumor, weak arterial walls or stroke) later in life? Thank you Crypto... Very indepth answer. It laid to rest my main concerns. I appreciate that very much.
What are the outcomes in the body/ mind when you've had cerebral hypoxia? Mine was in Dec 07, unknown how long... under anesthetic.. I had movement loss, severe memory loss, and cognition loss. Anything else?
Did i have cerebral hypoxia? when i was in 5th grade, we were in PE running. suddenly, my brain just went mush and everything felt like a dream. I think i had a really altered state of concioussness and everything just seemed out of wack. Could i have had en epidsode of hypoxia?
Mild Cerebral Hypoxia - would the Urgent Care facility be equipped to test for that? I have symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia. I've had them before, on and off for over two years, so I'm not concerned that it's a stroke or anything that urgent...however I do have symptoms of a lack of oxygen and it's frustrating and I'm considering going to the Urgent Care facility. We've been there before and it's very ...low tech. I don't want to sit in the ER for hours, that will just stress me out and cost way too much. Does anyone know offhand if there's any common way for the doctor to know oxygen levels to the brain, at a typical urgent care facility? If the cause was blockage in the left carotid artery... would there be a way to test for that? A blood gas would have to be sent out to a lab and take time right?
Cerebral Hypoxia Prognosis? My aunt was diagnosed with this which is pretty much where there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the brain even though there is adequate blood flow. And is life threatening.. does she have much time to live? I am very worried about her.
Regarding cerebral hypoxia.? When thinking, or reading, I often find myself unconsciously resting one hand on the side of my face, just under the cheekbone. Another position involves one half of the hand covering most of my mouth. Noticing that this renders mouth breathing impossible, I continuously ask whether my nose is drawing a sufficient amount of oxygen, as to supply my body, especially my brain. The space between the hand and the nostrils is about the width of my upper lip (Aprox. 1 inch). Does this allow for the appropriate amount of oxygen to be inhaled? Or is the had perhaps obstructing the pathway, thus decreading the overall amount of oxygen entering my body? For quite some time now I have been actively attempting to discern whether there is a noticable difference between the hand position, and the removal of the hand. Would someone please provide some valuable insight regarding this topic? This is a serious inquiry, and civil, and intelligent commentary would be much appreciated.
Could this be cerebral hypoxia? When I was working as a bartender (December 2007) I was sampling a drink I had blended when the manager came in to the bar. She startled me and a piece of ice lodged in my throat. I would guess It was stuck anywhere from 10-40 seconds before I dislodged it. While it was lodged in my throat I felt a strong burning sensation that eventually went numb. After it was cleared I continued to feel woozy and passed out, hitting my head on the bar. I don't have actual recollections of what happened after I passed out, just what I've been told by my wife. I ask this because I've been having feelings like I don't know where I am or that I've been placed in a situation (like transplanted...I guess). I've had strong tremors, delayed reactions, and difficulty in concentrating so I started seeing my underway doctor who sent me to a neurologist for suspected absence seizures. The neurologist said my MRI and EEG were perfectly normal and that he couldn't recommend any treatment. I haven't told my underway doc about the choking yet because I didn't remember it until my wife brought it up to the neurologist. So my real question is, can the problems I'm having be a result of the incident above even if my EEG and MRI were read as normal? And, if so, can it ever be reversed? Edit - I am 23 years old in good health, no previous mental problems or health problems, family history of epilepsy (sister was diagnosed in 1997), and my underway doctor is the doctor to my ship in the Navy (I had written I was in the Navy originally but I must've deleted it) and I'm seeing him on Wednesday but it's been awhile since these symptoms started and I was just curious what others thought.
can sex cause minor cerebral hypoxia? i feel spaced out for about three days after sex.? in addition to feeling spaced out, my speech/motor functions decline for about the same amount of time after sex. these symptoms are so sever that i'm forced to avoid sex. my doctor is puzzled and wanted to send me to a shrink. i think i'm fucked. i have thalesemia minor so i'm thinking that that may have something to do with it my eeg showed slowed brain waves too which i think may support my theory that i'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain i'm 21 years old and shouldn't have slowed brain waves
What happens when the cerebral perfusion pressure is over 100? i know cerebral perfusion under 50 mm Hg is dangerous and leads to hypoxia of the cerebral tissue, but what are the consequences when cerebral perfusion is too high?
Which of the following is most descriptive of multiple sclerosis? A. Diease in which mylein sheath is gradually replaced by scar tissue B. neuromuscular disorder caused by a deficiency of dopamine C. Brain death due to cerebral hypoxia D. Increased intracranial pressure that causes downward displacement(herniation) of the brain stem thanks
has anyone here actually died and come back to life? without heavy drugs? i mean, it's a little pointless to argue about afterlife stuff, since by the time we find out, it's too late anyway. so if you have, then please share the real story. btw, cerebral hypoxia can cause hallucinations.
can you find software and set a eeg brain scan on your computer? tell me so i can get it im going to look inside my brain to see how it is right now i was oxygen deprived at birth i had cerebral hypoxia im seeing how my brains doing from 2002 2003 20011

My Dad has just suffered a major attack last week.? He drove himself to the hospital at 2am and was left alone for approx. 15 mins after complaining of chest pain. When the nurse went back to him he as on the floor. They did CPR on him for 35 mins, bringing him back to us. He was then flown to another hospital that specializes in heart attacks. He has suffered cerebral hypoxia, we do know that. He does not repond to anyone in the room and only has spontaneous movements, eyes blinking, toes, legs and arm movements. The doctors are monitoring him very closely and he does have some swelling on the brain that wasn't there in the first 72 hours. My question is, does anyone know anyone who has survived this and pulled thru with a normal recovery (that he would be able to take care of himself with support of family?) I have hopes and I have prayed many times that he pulls thru this. I need a miracle.... Thanks so much for all that answered and are praying for him. I appreciate it more than I you would ever know. I told my family to start reading to him. Sometimes we don't know what to say, but at this point, i think he needs to just hear our voices. I love him sooo much and I need him. He is only 58 years old and was to retire on 1 Jan 07. He does smoke and I do to, but I made it a promise to quit with him WHEN he wakes up...
Ladies, what if a guy said this to you? Ladies what if a guy walked right up to you and looked you right in the eye and said: "I hope you know CPR to keep oxygenated blood flowing to my vital organs or have a defibrillator to terminate my cardiac arrhythmia, because your beauty took my breath away, causing cerebral hypoxia and a myocardial infarction." Would you give him your number?
Has anyone here had a? near death experience? What did it feel like? FYI: Cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the brain) causes your pineal gland to release the neurotransmitter dimethyltriptamine (DMT). This is why some kids enjoy choking each other to the point of passing out. DMT is the same neurotransmitter that causes you to dream. A hydroxylated alkaloid of this neurotransmitter is the active ingredient in "magic" mushrooms.
Help me fix my brain!? I had a heart arrythmia and dies twice. As a result I have cerebral hypoxia. What can I do to get my personality back?
Premature Infant Neurological condition? An infant is born two months early due to abruptio placenta and is later diagnosed with mild spastic cerebral palsy approximately two years later. Due to the early birth, his lungs were under-developed and could not sustain the needed oxygen levels needed for life on their own. Therefore there was no gas exchanges in the lungs from the moment of the complication to the time of being placed in an incubator. During that time, He suffered cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the brain), which caused damage to the motor cortex, the cause of the Cerebral Palsy. How long would it take for the child to develop Cerebral Palsy due to the lack of oxygen under these conditions? How long does it take from start to finish, for a lack of oxygen in the body to cause enough damage in the motor cortex to initiate Cerebral Palsy? What is the possible chance (percentage) of legally dieing on the table (so to speak) and being resuscitated again under these conditions? Does anybody know? The child was me (I'm 32 now). I've got mild right spastic hemiplegia and paralysis. No, no one (family) seems to know the answers or seems to give a crap about it and I've got very little paperwork from the doctors, so accurate information is a bit scarce on the birth. So I'm just trying for basic generalizations. I know it seems silly to ask these types of questions after the damage has already been done but I cannot seem to shake it, no matter how hard I try.
Is pulling an all nighter every other night safe? So lately I have been pulling an allnighter every other night. Not because I have anything important to like, study for, but I just don't get tired at all some days. Every other day to be exact. However, I want to try to end this if it will have any long term effects on my health. This is definitely not a permanent style, just a phase. Also, I have not been feeling any Mood Swings, or other symptoms associated with sleep deprivation, but I want to stop if, in the end, it's going to give me like cerebral hypoxia or something.
Do hyperventilation and the resulting hypocapnia cause brain damage? I was recently diagnosed with Hyperventilation Syndrome. I never faint from over-breathing, but I do experience tingling in my hands, lightheadedness and dizziness. Hyperventilation causes hypocapnia (a reduced amount of CO2 in the bloodstream, and thus vasoconstriction in the brain), but can this lead to permanent brain damage? From what I have researched, it seems that hypocapnia can lead to cerebral hypoxia, and thus kill off brain tissue. I did not think to ask my doctor when I was with her, so maybe a doctor could answer my question on here before I have to schedule another appointment. Thanks; I appreciate it!
There is no such thing as an "afterlife" experience, agree? When your heart stops your brain still functions for about 10 minutes. During that time you can have all sorts of hallucinations. Since the oxygen-rich blood is not pumped into your brain anymore you can suffer from cerebral hypoxia which also causes all sorts of hallucinations. So, I don't buy these stories where people "died", saw heaven/hell and then were "returned" back to life. I'm saying people who claimed to have seen afterlife are wrong because they were not actually dead. I'm not making any assumptions. It's common knowledge that the brain is the last organ to stop functioning when a person dies. I'm not denying the possibility of the afterlife. Some people need to read questions more carefully.
Suicidal Ex Fiance & Domestic Violence? Just to give you background I was with my ex for 9 years and had 2 beautiful children. On his good side he is amazingly loving,supportive,helps clean,cooked every night the list goes on.Domestic Violence started early in the relationship and ended up physical.It took me 9 times to actually leave for good. The last episode he strangled me 3 times in my daughters bedroom and on the third I nearly passed out.I left him and it wasnt easy but I did it. A month later he was on the phone with me and manipulated me with suicide as he thought I had said I was taking the children away permanently as in 100% custody. As he spoke he had the rope around his neck and was on the chair and asked me to just come home and talk and I had the guts to say no as I put a AVO order on him for the assult I would have been aiding and abbeting.He kicked the chair from under him and chocked on the phone as I had to hear this.I called the ambo right away and they found him there hanging, he ended up with lack of oxygen to the brain for 19min. I went to the hosp and he was in intensive care and suffered Cerebral Hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) and was told by the social worker that he will end up dead or severely vegetative. Somehow he managed to get through the ordeal with only short term memory loss but will have to live with the fact that he could have a seisure at any time.Hes walking talking and all the above.He is being medicated on 4 types of tablets 3 for Bipolar disorder and 1 for the seisures. The tablets knock him out a little but they seem to be making him stable.Note: He was finally diagnosed with mania Bipolar as I had thought he had anyways as I would always try and investigate over the 9 years his unusual characteristics and why he acted a certain way.Certainly wasnt easy. He recently got out of a rehabilitation centre for his brain rehab but carelessly as the gov do have not considered his mental health enough.This man seriously needed a psychiatric facility for a while as he is unstable but highly manipulative and convincing...hence being released. Last night I allowed him to see the kids and spend some time while I got my hair done he was over the moon, he has a long term mate living with him and I trust him so I was happy due to the fact their were ppl around. I will not allow overnights as of yet and am still hesitant depending how his medication helps him and how much better he gets, he was over the moon when I got there and so happy to see the kids as he had missed him emensly. When I got back he was in depressed mode and was asking me outside who saved him and why did I save him he would rather be dead.He believes theres no point in living without the mother of his beautiful children in his life and keeps pleading that it will work this time.Yes I do still love him of course I do after 9 years but certainly lost respect for him because of the abuse as anyone would.He keeps wanting a maby I will one day come back to him some sort of hope.But why give a man hope when I am trying to heal right now and cant guarentee anything.I keep saying that yes we are permantly broken up and I dont know what the future holds but we are not together. Of course I would dream and pray he will fully recover and who knows if he will fully change and get routine with his meds to control his agression and bipolar.But I have alot of resentment and pain inside and images and visions of the abuse that make me so sad.I cant keep hoping and going back as each time I am putting my childrens (Girl 5 Boy 2 ) mental health at risk as they have had to experience mummy being mentaly and physically abused for too long also the risk of getting a strike on my name to child services if I am ever in this situation again. I wont risk loosing my children even tho I am not the abuser but I am the abused that keeps going back praying to be a normal family. He was saying last night "well whats the point getting better if I have nothing to look forward to ild rather die.Yes he is still suicidal I believe and I am scared and pray he wont do it again :(( Can someone give me insight into this Im lost. I keep saying...but you have your children to live for and he replies with its never gonna be the same without mumma :(
How many young precious children and babies did God horrifically murder in the Great Flood? by forcing massive amounts of water into their lungs preventing the absorption of oxygen leading to cerebral hypoxia and myocardial infarction... all because God did not agree with what their mothers and fathers were doing? DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. wow, by judging from some of the answers I have here no wonder the religious sicko known as Andrea Yates drowned her 5 small children, she simply thought she was doing God's work!!! and you condemn abortions, hypocrites!!!
How to obtain power of attorney for incapacitated mother? My mother never signed a legal power of attorney, though I've been caring for her for the last few years. She had a heart attack Feb. 12th and suffered cerebral hypoxia, leaving her in a vegetative state. I want to get her medical records from her doctor, but they won't allow it because I don't have a power of attorney. My mother is basically unprotected because of this. What do I do? Everyone is telling me that I cannot get a POA without moms signature - but she is incapable of making any decisions or even signing her name. I dont even know if she *knows* her own name anymore. Please help! I dont know where else to go at this point.
My aunt just had a seizure, can someone tell me why? She was sitting on a trampaline, not jumping, just sitting. Watching everyone. When she started to think of something, a number actually, she couldn't remember and then flew back into a seizure. She had 2 grand Mal Seizures that day. One on the trampaline, leaving her scared and thinking she was in the desert and the other when she was in the hospital. I know that the doctors treated her and everything but they can find an underlying cause of what happened. She is horribly depressed and she doesn't want her life to be like this. She suffers from Short term memory loss, dehydration, and extreme sleepiness. Please if you could even mention something that would be helpful. I mentioned Cerebral Hypoxia, but no one listens to me. I hope that if someone could help, i could convince someone to do something about this because she is Horribly depressed. Thanks so much.

Would it be right to do an ED thoracotomy on a concious person? Let us take the following cenerio as an example where this might occurs: An MVA-blunt trauma patient is admitted to the ED with chest trauma and X-rays reveal an thoracic aortic aneurysm. An average adult has about 5L of blood and average cardiac output is about 5L meaning that if the aorta rupture the person would bleed to death in about a minute. For the minute he would still have perfusion to the brain and be concious. After brain perfusion and cerebral blood pressure drops as the patient is bleeding out, pyramidal cells of the cortex, which are very sensitive to hypoxia start to die, although it is general accepted that the process is reversible if the time < 6 minutes. If the rupture was to occur in the ED, can perform an ED thoracotomy to cross-clamp the aorta before the patient actually losses conciousness to preserrve as much perfusion to the brain as possible. It would be a painful procesudre but it was cause less permanent damage to the brain? Sometime you gotta weight pain vs. benefit
