According to her, the cough she suffered from suddenly caused her to experience a stroke.

"It felt like riding the most horrible roller coaster in the world," she said of the intense and sudden feeling of dizziness that struck her following one of the coughs.

She told her husband she was not feeling well and went to the bathroom, where she vomited and then lay down on the floor unable to move.

Her husband thought she had lost consciousness - but Dr. Ansari-Ali was in fact fully aware and aware of what was going on around her. What happened to her was called "lock syndrome".

She was thought to be unconscious, but she was awake and aware of everything that was going on.

Being a doctor, she understood her condition and suspected she was having a stroke, but she said she was not afraid and even managed to maintain her sense of humor throughout the incident.

She was evacuated to the hospital and in the emergency room she was treated with blood thinners, which restored her ability to move.

Although she spent two months in the hospital's rehabilitation department and continued the rehabilitation work even after she was released to her home, her condition is now good and even her chronic cough is under control.

In addition, she will need to take blood thinners regularly daily, for the rest of her life.



Today, 5 years after all this happened, Dr. Ansari-Ali said in an interview with Today that she still suffers from some of the consequences of her last stroke: Less good than they used to be. ”However, she is careful to maintain optimism for her patients because, she says, the optimism of her attending physicians about her condition has helped her greatly in recovery and rehabilitation.
