Stroke symptoms and signs can be similar, yet often stroke symptoms will consist of: pain or discomfort in the center of the chest, usually over the left shoulder and into the side of the chest. The sensation of numbness or pressing pressure in the chest. Lying on the back with the neck and face pressed hard against a surface. A feeling that you might pass out or that you are going crazy. Sometimes there is dizziness, too
Heart attack and stroke symptoms will often be the same, however heart attack symptoms will include: pain or discomfort in either the center of the chest (the pericardium) or between the breastbone and the heart (the aorta). Shortness of breath. Sweating, nausea, or upset stomach. There may be pinpoint pain in one side of the heart (the acute onset) or one side of the upper body (the secondary onset) – usually on one side of the arm. One side may have more warning signs than the other (for instance, the left shoulder may have more warning signs than the right shoulder.)
Stroke symptoms will vary depending on how much damage has been done to the brain. The most common is known as ischemic stroke, which happens suddenly. Other less common stroke symptoms include transient ischemic attacks (TIA), or those that happen suddenly and without warning. One thing that all two types of stroke symptoms have in common is that they will cause loss of consciousness and/or death.
The most common stroke symptom is what is called a “dry-water” headache. This is simply a blood clot (thrombus) that is formed in one of the arteries feeding the brain. The clot may be partially or fully blocked and will result in pain, numbness, and possibly even headache.
Clot busters are medicines that, when taken with the help of another drug, are designed to dissolve blood clots that have formed. Commonly prescribed by physicians, these medications are called antiplatelets and play a big role in stroke symptoms. They are commonly taken in addition to other medicines that are designed to thicken and prevent blood clots. These drugs include aspirin, warfarin, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
If your doctor detects that you have experienced a sudden, dry, or pruritic stroke symptoms, then he or she will likely recommend that you see an emergency physician. An emergency physician will be the person who can order oxygen and or medication for you. He or she will also be able to provide you with further medical help should it become necessary. Your primary care physician may also recommend that you see an emergency physician immediately.
Two types of strokes are ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke occurs when the brain tissue is damaged due to a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) or a major fracture of the blood vessel. Typically, this occurs in arteries close to the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes occur in veins near the heart or the spinal cord. When a hemorrhagic stroke occurs, there is not enough of the nutrient-rich blood that is supplied to the brain to compensate for the loss.
Symptoms that show up after a stroke are usually different depending on which side of the brain has been affected. Weakness often occurs on one side of the body. This side may also be tender to touch or feel cold. One type of stroke that does not show up as symptoms is a transient ischaemic attack. A transient ischaemic attack is a temporary loss of memory or concentration, usually brought on by standing up too fast or for some type of physical activity. In most cases, once the problem is resolved the person will retain his or her memory or become less active.
Stroke symptoms can be treated. Stroke treatments can range from medication to surgery. Doctors may recommend lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, limiting alcohol consumption and increasing exercise. Other medical help may be needed for aggressive, chronic or recurrent strokes. Medications such as Vigabatrin and Teflon coated sponge containing beta-blockers have been shown to improve symptoms.
A stroke happens when the blood supply to the brain is reduced, or when the brain cells die. A decrease in blood supply to the brain results in decreased oxygenation and decreased functions. Oxygen deprivation can kill brain cells and impair mental processes. Decreased oxygenation causes neurological disorders such as decreased consciousness, loss of co-ordination, coma and death in extreme cases. Stroke is a medical emergency and if it occurs due to any of the causes described, immediate medical help must be given.
