Stroke Symptoms are many, but they all depend on what is causing the stroke. They can be divided into two groups: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes occur when there is a lack of blood to the brain fails to drain properly due to a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. This results in reduced blood flow, resulting in decreased oxygenation of the brain. When the flow of blood to the brain is reduced, the result is death from lack of oxygenation.
Hemorrhagic strokes occur when the blood does not drain properly from the brain, usually because of a blockage in the blood vessels. When the arteries of the brain fail to adequately transport the blood back to the heart, this results in a heart attack. The result is stroke symptoms such as seizures or a lack of oxygen to the brain. People with hemorrhagic strokes often need to undergo a heart transplant or aortic aneurysm surgery. Stroke symptoms relating to ischemic stroke might include weakness of the body, dizziness, fainting or unconsciousness.
Facial Symptoms include drooping eyelids and facial drooping, arm weakness, numbness, and headache. Numbness in the face or arm is the most common stroke sign and is usually experienced by people who have had a previous stroke. Arm weakness is seen more commonly in older women but can also be seen in men. Headaches are more common in people who have had previous strokes and this may be related to a change in the nerve structure of the face or arm.
Stroke Symptoms relating to one arm are similar to those that apply to the other arm, but the symptom differs in that it manifests as a loss of sensation. This symptom is called “one arm weakness.” Stroke symptoms that manifest across the entire stroke patient’s arms are called “double arm weakness.” The symptoms of “double arm weakness” are: numbness over both sides of the body, pain or tingling in the affected arm, weakness or tingling in the thumb, forearm, or even the palm of the hand, and difficulty with fine movements. If you have difficulty performing fine movements, it could mean that your limb has suffered a serious injury. If your numbness or pain extends beyond the wrist, you should contact 911 immediately.
Understanding speech problems that occur in stroke patients includes experiencing a sudden severe headache. Patients who experience sudden severe headache may also experience nausea and vomiting. A stroke may include symptoms such as dizziness, a pounding heart, or a choking feeling. If you are experiencing these symptoms, and you have not eaten for a long time, you should get to a hospital emergency room right away.
Another important sign of a stroke is experiencing a change in understanding speech. Many patients who suffer a stroke may lose the ability to understand speech that they were previously able to understand well. Some of the warning signs of a sudden severe headache may include: speaking in a muffled or unclear voice, talking at a slower rate than usual, unable to recognize words or names, and a tingling or numbing sensation in the face and/or ears. If you have any of these symptoms, you should definitely get to a hospital emergency room right away.
Stroke symptoms can also include problems with vision. One of the most common vision problems following a stroke is diminished vision. Because some of the symptoms of a stroke can also have an affect on your ability to see, you need to make sure that you always see a doctor if your eyesight becomes suddenly compromised. Vision problems can also be accompanied by difficulties walking, difficulty talking, and neck pain or stiffness.
Some other warning signs that you need to pay attention to include: drooping eyelids or drooping faces, drooping forehead, arm weakness or numbness, trouble walking or standing, head twisting or turning suddenly, a change in behavior that is unusual for you, chest pain or trouble breathing, and difficulty talking or hearing. Stroke symptoms don’t usually manifest right away following the attack. In fact, sometimes they may show up several weeks after the injury. So, if you have had some of the previous symptoms to note, but haven’t yet been diagnosed, it’s best to wait for an MRI or CT scan to make sure that everything is progressing as it should. By doing so, you will be able to give the doctors time to treat and diagnose your condition properly and get the best results possible.
