Early Warning Signs of a Stroke You Shouldn\u2019t Ignore<\/p>\n
Many assume strokes happen suddenly, but the body often gives warning signs\u2014sometimes weeks in advance.<\/p>\n
Recognizing these early symptoms can save lives and prevent serious damage.<\/p>\n
One major sign is sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body\u2014in the arm,<\/p>\n
leg, face, or hand. While it may seem like fatigue or a pinched nerve, it could signal reduced brain blood flow.<\/p>\n
Vision changes such as blurriness, double vision, or brief blindness in one or both eyes are also red flags.<\/p>\n
These symptoms may come and go, making them easy to overlook.<\/p>\n
Unusual, severe headaches\u2014especially with nausea, neck stiffness, or light sensitivity\u2014can be warning signs, too. Other concerning <\/p>\n
symptoms include dizziness, loss of balance, or trouble walking. Feeling off-balance or like the room is spinning shouldn\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n
Mini-strokes, or TIAs (transient ischemic attacks), cause brief stroke-like symptoms and often<\/p>\n
resolve quickly\u2014but they\u2019re strong indicators that a full stroke could follow.<\/p>\n
Difficulty speaking, slurred words, or confusion are also critical warnings. Even unexplained shortness of breath can signal stroke risk.<\/p>\n
If any of these signs appear, seek medical help immediately\u2014even if they vanish. Fast action can prevent a major stroke and improve recovery outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
