10 Symptoms That You Might Have Suffered A Minor Stroke
In order to protect yourself, you must learn how to recognize the first symptoms of a stroke, after which you must react immediately.
1. Problems with eyesight
A stroke could cause a double picture, a blurry picture, or complete loss of sight on one or both eyes. 44% of the people that suffered one said that losing your eyesight is one of the more important symptoms.
2. Sudden headache and dizziness
A headache is an important sign of a stroke amongst women younger than 45. Therefore, if these symptoms happen to you often, consult a doctor.
3. Difficulty in speech
One of the first signs of a stroke is unconnected speech. At the beginning, it manifests through confusing about time and space, and later it crosses over to complete loss of the ability to speak, which leads to confusion.
4. Weakness in the extremities
After a stroke, the extremities usually become weaker. Moreover, they get harder to control or
become completely paralyzed. In most cases it is the hand or the leg on the
opposite side of the brain hemisphere where the stroke happened that suffers.
Put out both hands with the palms turned up and hold them in that position for 10 seconds. If one hand starts falling uncontrollably, that shows weakness in the muscles. Thus, that could be a sign of a stroke.
