Hello, my grandma is 77 and lives at home. She has been in and out of the hospital, hospice and rehab the past year with strokes. Due to her strokes she is not able to walk or use her left hand anymore. Earlier today, she was sleeping but when I tried to wake her up she wouldn't. She was still breathing so I called 911 to take her to the hospital but as soon as she got on the gurney, she woke up. What could this be? Another stroke?
Have her dr check her out, to be on the safe side.
You don't give us much to go on, but perhaps it's time to get grandma back under hospice care. That way if this happens again, you can just call them and they will send a nurse out to check her. I wish you and your grandma well.
Syncope can also occur due to medications, so you may want to discuss the matter with her doctor. It's not out of the question that she's having TIAs or small strokes as well, given her history.
Wishing you the best of luck with a tough situation.
