Stroke Symptoms differ from person to person and even from day to day. However there are common symptoms of stroke that anyone can experience. Stroke Symptoms consist of trouble breathing, swallowing, speaking, and seeing. Understanding the symptoms of stroke will help you plan your treatment.
The warning signs of a stroke start with shortness of breath. This is usually first on the list for many people. You may notice shortness of breath when you exhale or during any type of physical activity. Other common warning signs are dizziness, lightheadedness, sweating, nausea, headache, and upset stomach. If someone experiences any of these or any other unusual things for an extended period of time they should call 911 or rush to the nearest hospital.
Another one of the warning signs is what is called a “blackout”. A blackout is when the brain does not receive any type of information telling it that it is in danger of dying. This happens because blood gets pulled away from the brain by a “clot” in the blood vessels that supply it. A “clot” in the blood vessels is called a TPA, or Traumatic Ankle Arteries.
Weakness is another of the warning signs of a stroke. Many people who have had a TPA experience weakness, numbness, and face drooping for several days after the TPA has occurred. Weakness typically occurs in one side of the body, like the side of the face.
When there is a blockage in the carotid artery, or the femoral artery, the result can be a “rainy day”. People who have had a TPA will often complain of dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, nausea, a pounding heart, and a feeling that everything around them is moving faster than normal. Because a stroke does more damage in slow motion than in fast motion, a stroke survivor may notice slower movement of objects or sounds. It is important to get checked out by a physician as soon as possible because high blood pressure can lead to a heart attack or a stroke.
One of the more unusual Stroke Symptoms is what is called a “drop out”. This happens when the blood flow to one side of the brain becomes blocked due to a build up of cholesterol in the blood vessels. For example, if someone has just had a large amount of alcohol or drugs, this could lead to a “drop out”.
Another symptom of a stroke that many people do not associate with this condition is numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. Sometimes numbness in the arms is caused by a lack of blood flow in the arm. For instance, when a person is struck by lightning, there may be some electrical discharge and the arm would become numb. However, it is possible to contract this problem, which also causes tingling sensations, by taking steps to increase circulation.
The third most common type of stroke is what is known as an ischemic stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when blood begins to pool in the brain, causing fluid to leak into the brain. Because this condition can be caused by a number of different things, it is important to rule out any other diseases before concluding that a stroke is the cause. There are many other conditions that can cause a stroke, but the three most common are: carotid artery stenosis (hardening of the arteries leading to the brain), congenital occlusive disease (occurring in the baby before birth, which can block the brain’s blood vessels), and ischemic stroke.
Another very common symptom of a stroke is a loss of consciousness accompanied by either slowed speech or a complete loss of verbal understanding. This is called hemiplegia and occurs in twenty-five percent of all cases. Some people are able to speak after having suffered a hemorrhage, while others do not recover until after surgery. The damage caused by a hemorrhage can prevent a person from walking and lead to a reduction in mobility. It is possible to control a hemorrhage through speech therapy, physical therapy, and surgery.
The most serious of the three is a hemorrhagic stroke, which is a combination of a hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. In ischemic strokes, the blood supply to the brain is cut off, and in hemorrhagic strokes the blood supply to the brain is blocked by a buildup of too much pressure. Severe hemorrhagic strokes can even kill a person.
If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to go see a doctor. Most people are unaware that they may have had a stroke within a year of experiencing one or more of these symptoms. People with a family history of stroke often have a higher risk. But even if you don’t have a family history of stroke, it doesn’t mean that you won’t experience some of these symptoms. Stroke symptoms can be very scary and should never be ignored.
