Stroke symptoms are not the same in everyone. In fact, there are so many different types of strokes and their respective treatments that it can be very difficult to pinpoint exactly what is going on with your body at the time of the stroke. Sometimes the initial signs of a stroke can be mistaken for something more serious. That’s why it is important that you understand all that there is to know about a stroke. A little bit of information may mean the difference between life and death.
The acronym PRFLD stands for Prognosis, Predictive Factors, Registry and Event Profiling. The acronym is really quite self explanatory. PRFLD is a combination of three major strokes that can have very different and long term effects on the victim. The first is a bleed or other defect that affects blood flow to parts of the brain. The second is the result of an obstruction in one or more arteries that supply blood to the brain. And the third is a malfunction in a blood vessel, which allows some of the blood to seep into the brain and therefore reach parts of the brain that are affected by the stroke.
Symptoms that you may be suffering from include shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, auras or feelings of unreality or insanity. These are all classic symptoms of various strokes. You should quickly call 911 or go to the hospital. If you are still in the field of thinking that it will take weeks or months for you to regain your ability to function, you need to become aware of the fact that is simply not true. The earlier you begin to use your stroke symptom awareness, the better your chance of making a full recovery and getting back to the things you love. Having this symptom knowledge, however, doesn’t just give you the ability to immediately call for help, but also to recognize what is going on.
One of the more common stroke symptoms that people suffer from is slurred speech. Slurred speech is a problem that has different names. Some call it stammering, others call it slurring, and still others simply refer to it as having trouble speaking. Slurred speech is often accompanied by headache pain. This is a terrible thing to have to deal with but there is hope.
The first sign that you need to be aware of is a blood clot in your brain. While many people believe that the only time you will experience a stroke symptom is if you have a hemorrhage or if your artery clogs, it’s important to realize that not everyone that suffers from these types of strokes experiences signs of these. If you experience a blood clot, it means that a hole has formed in your blood vessel, usually in the neck. If the clot has not dissolved, this can continue to grow until it causes a complete stroke.
Another sign that you need to be aware of is severe memory loss. Some symptoms that may indicate that you are developing a major stroke include: memory problems such as forgetting the names of your family members or losing the ability to read your phone book or a favorite newspaper article. If you experience any of these symptoms, you need to get help immediately.
One of the less common stroke symptoms is dizziness. If you are experiencing dizziness, you should contact 911 right away. Dizziness, or even dizziness that seems to get worse is sometimes a sign of a more serious problem. For example, if you become unconscious due to a vomiting attack, you should go to the hospital immediately. If you pass out while you are lying down, this is a sign of a less common problem, but it is still important to get medical attention.
Finally, some people have a hard time remembering their name. If you are familiar with the acronym AIDA, it can serve as a reminder to you so that you can remember to take your medication on time and to use your inhaler before you need it. Stroke symptoms can be difficult to deal with, but knowing the definition of each word can be helpful in some cases.
