Stroke symptoms can be described as a cascade of bodily and cognitive signs and symptoms that characterize the progression of blood flow in the brain after a stroke. These signs and symptoms can take many forms, but all of them ultimately come back to one or more of four primary conditions that happen in just a small minority of cases where a person develops a stroke. The four conditions are:
If you have an acute stroke, the symptoms are likely to hit you all at once and all without warning. This is because the symptoms progress gradually over time and are often confused with each other. However, if you know your symptoms well enough, you can immediately call your doctor or healthcare provider and begin treatment so that you can regain your quality of life.
One of the first symptoms that most people experience is a sudden severe headache. This can vary from a mild migraine to a very severe headache, lasting several days or even weeks. Most people mistake a sudden severe headache for a heart attack or a nervous breakdown, so they don’t seek treatment until it gets worse. It’s important to understand that these symptoms are not normal and that they don’t mean that something terrible is wrong with you. A severe headache is usually a warning that something isn’t right and that you need to seek treatment immediately.
Another of the most common signs is confusion. Sometimes, people forget what happened just moments after they’ve been hit by a car, lost their balance on the floor of their hospital room, or saw a tornado fall down their street. Other times, people have no recollection of even getting hit or falling. Because brain function is so tightly linked to memory, the symptoms of memory loss and confusion are actually very similar to the symptoms of stroke. They almost always occur together and need to be addressed as soon as possible.
One of the more mysterious Stroke symptom is sudden onset of vision problems. While this may sound like a good thing, it actually means that your eyes are extremely sensitive. This makes it difficult to concentrate and remember things. Sudden onset of vision problems is actually considered a sign of other problems within your body, which means that it is definitely something to look out for.
Another symptom is changed mental status. People who have had a stroke often report a change in mental status. They may suddenly feel confused, depressed, angry, fearful, or even angry. Others have trouble speaking, writing, or remembering things. While everyone will experience some kind of change in mental status at one time or another, if it lasts for more than a few days it should be looked at seriously.
One other common symptom is arm weakness. Many Stroke victims will complain of arm weakness on one side of the body, or both. They may be able to move their arms, but they don’t feel like doing so. While there is no real reason why someone would have arm weakness on one side of the body if they are not having a stroke, it can be a big sign that something is wrong. It’s also important to note that arm weakness isn’t always a symptom of a Stroke. If someone has arm weakness on one side of the body but feels fine on the other side, they might just be having a mild stroke.
While these are some of the more common Stroke symptoms, there are several others that are less common, but still very real. If you or a loved one has any of these symptoms it is important to check with a doctor as soon as possible. Even if someone has only a mild stroke, they still could be suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke.
