Stroke symptoms or warning signs differ from one individual to the next. There are some common stroke signs that most people experience. For instance, most people experience dizziness and/or nausea after a stroke. Dizziness is the most common symptom and is often referred to as a “double blow” for the patient. The term “double blow” came about because many individuals believe they have suffered a second stroke.
Another common stroke symptom is slurred speech. This may not be a sign of a severe headache. Slurred speech is usually accompanied by vision problems such as seeing double or triple rays of light.
Another symptom is loss of memory or any memory. This can also be confused with a mild headache. Loss of memory is one of the earliest signs of a stroke that should be assessed by a doctor. If this happens, there is a high chance that something is seriously wrong with the brain and immediate surgery should be considered.
Many patients experience sudden vision problems. This can cause a great deal of discomfort and difficulty when driving or while performing physical activities. Sudden vision problems can also occur with patients who have experienced a previous stroke. Vision problems such as double vision, tunnel vision and blurry vision can occur in patients who have had certain strokes. These can often be a sign of a more severe problem in the brain that requires immediate attention. These sudden vision problems are often associated with either a lack of oxygen to the brain or a blockage in the blood vessels.
Symptoms of chest pain or pressure are often first symptoms of a stroke. A feeling of tightness in the chest can be a very frightening experience. When the chest pain or pressure occurs while sleeping, it is imperative that you seek medical attention immediately. Other signs of a stroke include dizziness, loss of balance, sweating and increased heart rate. Headaches that occur more frequently than once a month and vision problems that occur for longer than two weeks should also be investigated.
There are many other possible signs and symptoms that may occur in patients who have had a stroke. Some of the signs and symptoms mentioned above are just some of the most common symptoms. Stroke patients will often experience feelings of depression, loss of appetite, confusion, memory loss and feelings of fatigue or exhaustion. If any of these signs or symptoms occur for longer than 48 hours, you should contact your medical professional.
The physical therapy that is used after a stroke is designed to increase the blood flow to the brain and to help with the movement of the brain tissue. Patients who have suffered a stroke often experience some loss of mobility, but this usually depends on how severely they have been hit. There are many different exercises that are used to help patients regain the ability to move. You may need to use crutches or a wheelchair to help you with the process. Your physical therapist can help you decide on the best exercises and which equipment is right for you. It is important to do regular exercise as part of your recovery after a stroke.
One of the less common symptoms is dizziness. People who have suffered a stroke or those who are obese often experience dizziness. In order to get medical attention for dizziness, you may have to go to an emergency room. Other symptoms of dizziness include pounding of the head, lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately.
A severe headache is another of the symptoms that may be experienced after a stroke. Headaches are often caused by the lack of oxygen that comes into the brain when the person has a stroke. A severe headache can interfere with your ability to concentrate and perform activities of daily living. In addition, it may lead to vision problems if the headache is not treated.
Vision problems are often an expected part of the recovery process following a stroke. However, you should be aware that not all eyesight problems are related to the brain damage. In fact, most of the time it is the stroke causing the vision problems. Some of the leading cause’s of impaired vision are not related to the brain at all. These include chronic dry eye syndrome, cataracts and macular degeneration. By using an eye exam that screening for these conditions, you can get an early warning signs of potential vision loss.
By taking an early warning test, you can prevent the serious complications that may occur later in life. If you have any of the symptoms experienced above, you should contact your doctor right away and seek immediate medical help. The sooner you seek medical help, the more likely you are to survive and regain your independence.
