Stroke is a sudden interruption of blood supply to the brain that can occur at any time.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Eric Berg.
In the UK, for example, a stroke occurs every five minutes, which results in 100 thousand cases annually. Recognizing the early symptoms of this condition can save lives, says doctor Eric Berg.
Early signs of a stroke: what to look for?
Dr. Berg emphasizes that the first signs of a stroke can appear long before its onset and differ from the usual symptoms, such as facial asymmetry or weakness of the limbs.
Main harbingers:
Intense headache
Severe, sudden pain in the head can be caused by increased pressure in the brain due to a blood clot. This pain is different from regular migraines and requires attention.
Nausea and vomiting
If nausea or vomiting occurs for no apparent reason, this may be an early signal of circulatory problems in the brain.
Hiccups and chest pain
Persistent hiccups, especially when accompanied by chest discomfort or pain, may also indicate an impending stroke.
Other signs may include:
Vision problems: sudden blurring or loss of vision.
Dizziness: a feeling of spinning or loss of balance.
Loss of coordination: difficulty performing simple movements or clumsiness.
Confusion: difficulty understanding speech or processing information.
Numbness and weakness: a feeling of loss of sensation or strength on one side of the body, including the face, arms, or legs.
These symptoms may begin several days or even a week before a stroke. Awareness of these signs helps to seek medical help in time, which can prevent serious consequences.
Recall that earlier it was reported how to understand that you have thick blood: the first non-obvious symptoms are named.
