One of the numerous reasons why some health issues worsen or kill some people, in my opinion, is because people are unaware of the symptoms and, more importantly, how to prevent them. However, the focus of this article is on the early indicators of stroke, which should not be overlooked. But, before we go into the symptoms of a stroke, let’s define a stroke. What factors contribute to a stroke....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
According to webmd, Stroke is defined as brain damage that occurs when the brain’s supply of oxygen and nutrients (which are delivered in the blood) is diminished or interrupted, causing brain cells to die within minutes.
High blood pressure (when blood arteries narrow) and diabetes (when fatty deposits build up) are the leading causes of stroke. As a result, someone with high blood pressure or diabetes is at a higher risk of suffering a stroke. Stroke is a medical problem that should be addressed as soon as possible because it might be fatal.
The following symptoms are commonly observed.
1. Muscular weakness
Loss of balance, trouble walking, stiff muscles, limb weakness, or paralysis are all symptoms of muscular weakness.
2. Numbness
If you detect numbness in a specific portion of your body without any obvious cause, suspect it and contact a doctor right once.
3. Fatigue
A stroke might cause lightheadedness or a general feeling of exhaustion.
4. Vision problems
It could be an indication of stroke if you have hazy vision, temporary loss of vision in one or both eyes, double vision, or sudden vision loss.
5. Chronic headache
Headache may appear to be a frequent symptom of stress or another small health issue, but in this situation, suspect chronic headache in conjunction with any other stroke symptom.
6. Swallowing difficulty
If the nerves or muscles that govern swallowing are injured, swallowing problems may occur.
7. Communication issues
If you’ve never had speech loss or slurred speech before and notice it for the first time, consult a doctor to rule out a stroke.
All or some of these stroke symptoms may arise unexpectedly, but they are frequently felt days before a major stroke occurs.
Fevers, vomiting, hallucination, seizure, hiccup, unexpected behavioral changes, and shortness of breath may be indications in women.
Please seek medical attention if you detect any two of these symptoms. It might be too late tomorrow.
