treatment for brain clot - #21534

Keya

I am really worried about my sister. Last week, she suddenly started having severe headaches and slurred speech. We rushed her to the ER, and they did a CT scan and found a brain clot. It’s been a whirlwind since then. They told us they need to decide on a treatment for brain clot, which is kinda stressing us out because we’re not sure what to expect. I mean, are there different types of treatment for brain clot, or is it pretty much just the same for everyone? The doctors mentioned something about medications like anticoagulants, but I read online that sometimes surgery might be necessary too? How do they decide on that? I just want to know how effective these treatments can be. Like, are there any long-term effects or complications we should be worried about? I’ve been trying to read articles and watch videos, but it’s all kinda overwhelming. If I could get some insight on what really happens during treatment for brain clot, that would be awesome! I just want to be prepared for what’s ahead. Thank you!
