There are many different Stroke symptom categories. The most common Stroke symptom is the blindness that strikes immediately after a Stroke. In all cases of Stroke the victim may lose both eyesight for several days or possibly months. A common type of Blindness caused by a Stroke is called “ischemia” and it affects the flow of blood from the veins in the eyes to the brain. This condition is usually reversible and not life threatening. However, it can be very debilitating to those with mild forms of stroke.
Another common Stroke symptom is double vision or blurred vision. This is often referred to as “blurred vision” because the victim either can see objects very clearly or they can see objects very blurry. Many times victims have problems when they try to drive or read. Also, some people who suffer from this type of Blindness may find that their double vision is so severe that it makes it difficult to navigate their way through city streets.
Another fairly common Stroke symptom is leg weakness or limpness on one side of the body. Again this can be attributed to either blurred or double vision. The legs may swell or they may just appear to be weak. Again, leg weakness may cause difficulty walking, getting up from a chair or just standing.
One other Stroke symptom which is not quite as widely known is that it is a common cause of falls in children. Because of the risk of falls it is recommended that if your child has any of the signs of a Stroke, that they get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. No matter what treatment you choose for a child with Signs of a Stroke, there is no denying that they will have a much greater risk of Falls if they have diabetes. This is one of the top five ischemic strokes in children.
If you are a parent and your child is born with or suffers from Diabetes you are at risk of a Stroke. In fact the likelihood of your baby developing a Stroke is much higher if you are born with Diabetes. There are many risk factors for the development of a Stroke. A history of uncontrolled diabetes is one such risk factor. However, if a parent has developed a Stroke they are more likely to have developed uncontrolled diabetes.
Stroke symptoms that you can keep track of and a chart to use are: Fatigue, changes in mental status (such as irritability, thought impairment or decreased concentration), seizures, difficulty breathing (tiredness), and vision or eye problems (dilated pupils). Each of these symptoms is important because each one impacts how your brain functions. Fatigue is the result of decreased oxygen intake, especially in those with prolonged illness or those that are bed ridden. Change in mental status can be attributed to confusion or mental confusion. And seizures are due to lack of oxygen to the brain.
Each of these symptoms has different triggers that bring on each symptom. Keeping track of your own symptoms and those of a loved one will help you spot the difference between bouts of brief chest pain or even a full-blown stroke. Each symptom brings on a series of other signs and symptoms. Each symptom is a link in a chain. Any one of the links in the chain is useless without the others being well monitored and act quickly if any of them are present. If any of these links are neglected, the chain starts to break down.
Stroke can be avoided if the risk factors for a stroke are kept in check, particularly by exercising and dieting. Medications can also help in minimizing the risk of a stroke, especially if taken on time. Your doctor and medical team will work together to develop an exercise program specifically for you that will build up your weak parts of the brain so that it can better handle the constant stream of chemicals that are needed for normal brain function. By maintaining a good diet of foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and protein, you can help your brain function properly to avoid these all important early warning signs of a stroke.
