Stroke & seizure question?

[Buffy5120]

If you get a stroke or seizure but dont go to the hospital at all and literally just stay at home is it possible you will eventually ctb or will you still be alive?

I reckon it depends on the magnitude of the stroke.

A seizure - well, what kind of seizure do you mean?

If I get the coronavirus and have a stroke or seizure i just want to ctb because I know I will wait it out and wont call ems but im just wondering if i wait and dont go to the hospital for lets say 72 hours will i be paralyzed if i dont go to the hospital right away?

@Buffy5120, my understanding is that you'd have dire lung symptoms before you'd have a stroke. And there's no way to guess exactly what a stroke would do to you. How old are you, what's your health like generally, do you live at home? And so on. x

Im 24 I have an auto immune disease called hashimotos hypothyroidism. I had a TIA (mini stroke) last year and neurologist said they saw small seizures when i was sleeping on an eeg i did. But i never till this day had a full blown seizure. I never had any health problems at all until i started antidepressants for my depression etc. I had an adverse reaction which caused the tia and seizures. One of my doctors even said it sounds like brain damage. Till this day I have been going through utter hell and have the brain of a 80 year old dementia patient. I have short term memory loss, cognitive issues, and visions problems all due to that one pill. So this is why im asking since i definitely could be at risk of getting a stroke since they have been saying the virus can cause that. I obviously want to ctb from it, thats why I plan on not calling ems for help. I'm basically trying to figure out if I do get a stroke or seizure from this virus will I just ctb or will I become paralyzed even after waiting 72 before calling the hospital?

I'm sorry you're suffering. I don't think anyone could predict the outcome a covid-related stroke would have for you. I'm sorry.

I imagine that in that kind of situation you'd panic and call emergency services anyway. If you're not planning to die that way I assume survival instinct would kick in.

My 90yr grandma had a mini-stroke and didn't seek medical attention. Her words were muddy/repetitive for a few days afterwards but ultimately nothing permanent came of it.
My fiancées mom had a really bad one a few years ago (in her 50s) but she did receive medical attention. As far as I know, again no lasting effects.

I've considered inducing a stroke in myself somehow or another, as I have one of the predispositions, but those two stories alone make me think that there's not a high enough chance of fatality to bother. Not worth risking Hospitalization debt or paralysis.
