My mom started walking again after a stroke in therapy and I think that’s what triggered her dizziness

It's currently May 2023. I'm almost 70 and in the past 4 years I've hand two small subarachnoid hemorrhages and a stroke. I've been having stroke symptoms that my neurologist calls "nonspecific paroxysmal spells. When I finally called the advice nurse (this week) I refused to go to the ER. because last year they kept me twice (for a couple of days each time) but did not treat me. They just explained that I had small, yet significant, strokes. The symptoms remained for months. I had voice changes, face changes, arms, and legs were week and I didn't have control.Everything is back again. I was emailing my neurologist my alarming blood pressure numbers and I did go to the clinic for a BP check when told. But I refused to go to the ER. I have an MRI tomorrow. Also in the past couple of years I've found the term "leaky brain in my medical notes. The medical professionals who put these terms in my records need to explain what they mean.

What about heart rate? My son is 30 yrs and had a stroke from a brain bleed. The cause they gave was uncontrolled hypertension. After 2 surgeries on his brain, one for the bleed and another for a shunt, they sent him home with no, information or follow-up on his blood pressure. I monitor it and I am concerned that his heart rate is in the hundreds, and his pressure is not normal, but not too high.He is not overweight but doesn't eat well or exercise . Any guidelines on heart rate numbers?
