Stroke symptoms can be difficult to identify at first. Often times, you may not feel any symptoms that occur after a stroke. However, it is important to be aware of what signs and symptoms you should be on the look out for so you may know if something is wrong or if you are in need of help. Here are some of the main signs and symptoms relating to strokes.
The most common stroke symptom that people experience is called transient ischemic attack (TIA). This is where you feel a small headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, or a combination of these symptoms for no longer than thirty minutes. You can forget what happened almost immediately after experiencing it and then it will start all over again the next day. A common mistake people make when experiencing TIA is assuming they are alright and going about their daily routine. However, there is a difference between a temporary TIA and a full-blown stroke. If you have an acute stroke recognition is key to your survival.
Another common stroke symptom is called transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and is often mistaken for a heart attack. Many times victims do not get medical attention because they think that it is just a regular headache. In fact, if left untreated, a TIA is a sign that the brain is suffering a massive amount of damage, which can result in permanent paralysis or death of brain cells. If you have a TIA, you should get medical attention as soon as possible.
Loss of balance and the inability to coordinate movements are also very common symptoms of a stroke. Sometimes, you will lose your sense of balance or become unsteady. Some people lose their ability to perform simple movements like walking, chewing, swallowing, and pointing. Numbness or weakness in the arms, legs, or feet are also common symptoms. Some sufferers may also lose the ability to speak or use their hands.
Another sign of a stroke is a severe headache. A headache can develop suddenly with no warning at all. Other signs of a stroke that may appear simultaneously include dizziness, confusion, slurred speech, decreased vision, sweating, dry mouth, nausea, upset stomach, heart palpitations, irritability, twitching, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, trouble talking, trouble following conversations, trouble with comprehending messages, or trouble following or understanding information. These symptoms can also be caused by high blood pressure or diabetes.
A more serious symptom of a stroke that can be difficult to detect is double vision. This symptom can be a particularly difficult one to detect if you have diabetes or high blood pressure. People who have had diabetes for some time may experience a sudden confusion or a stupor as they age. For people with hypertension, the symptoms of double vision are more likely to appear when performing simple tasks such as reading.
The symptoms of a stroke can also be an indicator of a heart attack. If a person has high blood pressure or a heart attack, they need to get medical attention right away. Prompt treatment prevents permanent damage to the heart or brain. If you have been diagnosed with a stroke and are not feeling well, make sure to get medical attention as soon as possible.
The acronym SVD is not enough to describe the full range of stroke symptoms. Many other terms and conditions have been created based on the official recognition of these strokes’ symptoms. A detailed description of what each term means will be needed. The National Institutes of Health classifies these strokes into four main categories. These categories are: Anteroposterior (front), medial (side), Cardiogenic (heart) and Urgent.
