A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is a scary experience. It occurs when the blood supply to the brain is impeded or cut off completely due to lack of blood flow (or ischemia), blockage (thrombosis, arterial embolism), or a brain hemorrhage. As a result, the brains stops functioning normally and oftentimes the muscles in the body, the reflexes, and the senses are all affected.
If you have multiple signs and symptoms of this problem, ask your doctor to check your health levels.
And here are 7 Common Signs of A stroke that you should to know.
1, Weakness in arm or leg.
We already know that stroke usually affects only one side of the body and often a weakness appears in the opposite side. This can be manifested as a weakness or numbness in the arm or leg or even paralysis. There is an easy test to check if this is happening to you – just extend your arms with palms up for 10 seconds. If one of your arms drifts downwards, it usually means you are having a stroke. Do this with your legs as well by lifting each of them separately with your eyes open.
2, Difficult Speech.
Difficult or slurred speech is another obvious warning sign. If an individual suddenly has difficulty speaking or forming intelligent sentences, it can indicate a stroke. Observers often explain it as watching someone helpless trying to talk, or a look of sudden confusion on the affected person’s face. The person experiencing the stroke can feel extremely confused at the inability to speak, put words together in a sentence, or simply trying to focus on speaking.
3, Loss of Balance.
The onset of a stroke will cause extreme physical turmoil, so much so that often victims have trouble walking, lose their balance and coordination completely, and even have trouble sitting down without falling. You could stumble and it could feel next to impossible to get your balance, even just focusing on your balance and coordination. Dizziness, (discussed in more detail further in this article), is a common symptom that goes along with balance, walking and coordination issues because the dizzy feelings can actually sometimes be the cause.
4, Impaired Vision.
Those affected by a stroke often explain there is a period prior where they have trouble seeing or seeing clearly. They could experience double vision, blurred vision, or complete loss of vision. These vision problems might only be temporary, but observers can test visual aptitude by asking the victim how many fingers they are holding up. If they can’t tell, call 9-1-1.
5, Facial Paralysis.
Oftentimes a stroke inflicts the facial muscles, where one side of the face droops or goes totally numb so the face appears non symmetrical when they try to talk or smile. This is a common symptom that’s easy for other people to notice. When you suspect someone if having a stroke, you should ask the person to smile. This is a quick way to identify if they’re having a stroke, and if facial paralysis occurs, get them emergency medical attention immediately. Even if the non symmetrical smile or speech difficulty isn’t from a stroke, it’s still a sign that something serious is wrong.
