What exactly is a stroke or a ministrombral hemorrhage? A stroke is also called a temporary ischemic attack (TsMA). It occurs when a certain portion of the brain has a permanent lack of blood circulation. Because stroke symptoms often are almost identical, you must seek medical attention immediately if you experience even any of these symptoms.
Hemorrhaging is the most common symptom of a stroke. There is bleeding from any point in the body, but it is most common in the arteries. Stroke symptoms are often divided into the categories of ischemia (reduction of the amount of oxygen the body receives), ischemia-dissolution (reduction of the amount of acid in the arterial walls) and hemorrhaging. Ischemia-dissolution is less common than ischemia-plaque (blood clots that form in the arteries, not where the artery leaves the brain), but these still cause pain, swelling, bruising and a decreased level of oxygen in the blood.
Stroke symptoms can also include unconsciousness, decreased vision, speech problems, flu-like symptoms, irritability and hyperactivity. Stroke-related death statistics indicate that women are more likely to die from ischemic stroke than from a hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. The four most common types of stroke are atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), hemorrhagic stroke, subclavian stroke and carotid artery occlusive disease (CAD). The five least common types of stroke are hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, focal stroke (the result of a lesion on one large artery) and ischemic neck/whiplash. Stroke risk factors are: age, male sex (risk increases with age), diabetes (risk increases with diabetes), blood cholesterol (low HDL levels is associated with a lower risk of stroke) and family history.
If you are experiencing any or all of these symptoms, seek medical help immediately. Stroke warning signs are not the same for everyone, and while the above list is a rough guideline, keep in mind that other symptoms can be attributed to ischemic stroke, which is usually a combination of symptoms, and is not included here. It is important that if someone else in your family has had a stroke, that you also receive a rapid medical response so that you can begin the treatment process. Your health care professional may advise you to take aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). If you are having severe or recurrent symptoms, it is advised that you talk to your doctor about a potential need for aspirin, acetaminophen or NSAID, as well as a plan for treatment to relieve or control your symptoms, if necessary.
One of the most common forms of stroke symptoms is transient ischemic attacks (TIA), which can last up to 2 minutes. If TIA does not go away or if the TIA comes on quickly and does not go away within the period of time that you have had the attack, then you are considered to have transient ischemic attack. This means that you are at greatest risk for more strokes in the future. Studies have shown that men are more likely to experience a TIA than women, and that African American males have the highest incidence of TIA. Men are more likely to have more than one TIA, while women are less likely to have more than one.
Numbness or weakness is another of the more common Stroke Symptoms. Often when people have a stroke, they report experiencing numbness or weakness in various parts of the body. Numbness or weakness is typically seen in the limbs, but it can also be experienced in the face or legs. Because some strokes cause a reduction in blood circulation to extremities, having weak or numbness in these areas may be a significant sign that a stroke is imminent. This should be something that you report to your physician, so that they can perform some tests to rule out anything else.
Speaking one side at a time is another of the many Stroke Symptoms. When a person has a stroke, they often speak one side of their brain, or just speak a few words, and then switch to the other side of the brain, or vice versa. When a person tries to speak one side at a time, they find that they have trouble focusing and talking, and sometimes they start to stammer. Sometimes they will notice that they forget what they were saying the first time. If this starts to happen more than once, it is important to report this to your physician.
Stroke Symptoms can be difficult to handle if you do not have a good understanding of what they are, and what they mean. If you have any concerns or questions about your medical history or your Stroke Symptoms, you should discuss these with your doctor. They can run all of the tests that are necessary to help determine if you are at risk for a stroke, or if you are just experiencing some mental challenges that are unrelated to your stroke. Having an accurate understanding of your risk factors will allow you to take better care of yourself, while allowing your doctor to do the best medical treatment that they can for you.
