Patient's question:
Doctor, a few weeks ago, my uncle woke up in the morning and found that one side of his body was not moving freely, and his mouth was drooping. Then, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with a cerebral infarction and lost consciousness. I want to ask if someone who has lost consciousness due to a cerebral infarction can regain consciousness? I am really anxious now. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Patient with cerebral infarction, if the clinical diagnosis shows a recurrence of fainting, this situation is mainly due to the interruption of cerebral infarction, leading to the brain re-entering a state of purulent cerebral edema and choking. In clinical diagnosis, symptoms such as drooping mouth corners may also appear. When fainting occurs again, it is mainly due to severe cerebral edema, which leads to increased intracranial pressure, causing fainting. First, if the blocked area is not large, clinical diagnosis generally indicates that the patient can regain consciousness.
