Stroke symptoms are sometimes confused with the normal signs and symptoms of several different illnesses. Stroke symptoms occur suddenly, without warning, and without any apparent reason for doing so. However, many times these symptoms are overlooked, causing more harm than good to some individuals. There are several common signs and symptoms of strokes that need to be addressed when possible. These signs and symptoms can lead to an early diagnosis of the problem, which will then improve the chances of a quicker recovery.
Weakness – The first and most obvious of the warning signs is weakness or dizziness. Many people will often become extremely dizzy when they first feel the stroke symptoms coming on. This is a very common symptom of a stroke. Weakness can begin in the forehead and lips, and then move down the body to the neck, shoulders, back, and legs. At times this can also affect the head, and there can be a weakness in the vision as well. Sometimes it is just a brief weakness and will pass fairly quickly, while other times a person may become weak for longer periods of time, lasting days or even weeks at a time.
Trembling or Shaking – Another one of the symptoms of a stroke is trembling or shaking of the hands or arms. Often these signs are ignored, as the individual assumes they are due to stress or tightness of the muscles. However, trembling and shaking can indicate that there is a problem with the brain, and is certainly something to watch for. A change in behavior, or feeling timid about things can also be a sign of a problem. If it is a feeling that is constant, it could be due to the weakness and dizziness that are also present.
Tearing Or Bleeding – One of the more common stroke symptoms is blood loss from the area of the neck and the head. This can be caused by a blockage of the artery, which may be caused by swelling of the brain, or from the fluid building up in the arteries. Some of these clots harden into what is called a carotid artery aneurysm, which is a very dangerous situation. However, some of these clots do not harden and remain below the skin, which makes them less dangerous but still a cause for concern.
Memory Loss – Another of the more common stroke symptoms is memory loss. While this is a symptom, it is normally not considered to be a warning sign of a stroke. Many people develop minor memory loss as they get older, so this does not rise to the top of the list of signs of a stroke unless you have a history of memory loss.
Transient Ischaemic Attack – A transient ischaemic attack is a temporary drop in the levels of blood supply to the brain. Although this is the most common symptom of a stroke, there are many other things that can cause a temporary ischaemic attack such as fainting, unconsciousness, lightheadedness and vomiting. If someone develops any of these symptoms they should seek medical attention immediately.
Signs Of Stroke That Are Not Yet Active – If none of the above sudden symptoms occurs then another set of symptoms may be developing. This is particularly true in the case of people who have just had a major trauma. Any sign that an emergency services person has that is not consistent with something like a stroke can be an indication of another problem. Therefore it’s very important to check all over for any signs that aren’t currently active, and take care of any emergency services person that is on the way to get treatment.
Stroke symptoms are very important to watch for and should not be overlooked. If any of these warning signs are present then medical attention should be sought immediately. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. If you’ve been diagnosed with a stroke and haven’t been able to communicate with anyone about your condition then you need to act quickly. Strokes are often silent but are deadly.
