A stroke can be fatal and frequently causes severe and possibly lifelong disability. However, similar to many other diseases, stroke shows certain warning signs before it totally strikes a person.
Because a stroke can be fatal or severely alter a person’s quality of life, it is vital to know the warning symptoms of the condition so that you can take measures to prevent or minimize the severity of the problem.
WebMD and Healthline agree that everyone under the age of 40 should be aware of the following eight (6) warning symptoms of stroke.
one of the most typical signs of a stroke is trouble walking or dizziness. Stroke patients frequently lose their balance, making it difficult for them to walk correctly before the event.
Stroke patients often lose the ability to speak properly just before they have a stroke, which can lead to a number of embarrassing situations.
Their words may not be spoken correctly, and they may speak more softly than usual. It may become increasingly difficult to have meaningful conversations with them as a result of this.
3. Unilateral numbness; the right and left hemispheres of the brain are responsible for movement and sensation, respectively. The right hemisphere governs the left side of the body and the left hemisphere governs the right side of the body.
Therefore, if the right hemisphere of the brain is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, the left side of the body will go numb. Numbness occurs when sensation disappears in a certain part of the body. Common symptoms of a stroke include numbness.
4. Disorientation: this symptom may not always indicate a stroke, as it can also be caused by more common infections such as malaria.
Conversely, dizziness in a previously healthy person who is not experiencing any kind of stress may be an indicator of an impending stroke. All the more so if the otherwise healthy individual is actually suffering from anything like heart problems.
Fifth, problems with vision are a common prelude to a stroke and another major warning sign. This suggests that the approaching stroke victim’s vision will become blurry, and that he or she may have trouble seeing out of one or both eyes.
Sixth, a sagging face is a common sign that a stroke is imminent. This makes part of their face look featureless, like a bull dog’s face.
Muscle stiffness, behavioral changes, memory loss, numbness or tingling in portions of the body, involuntary eye movement, slurred writing, and trouble swallowing are also classic pre-stroke warning signs. All of these signs may mean that a stroke is imminent.
If you experience any of these signs, you should get to the hospital quickly or have someone else take you there…CONTINUE READING>>
