The third most common cause of death among people is stroke. Many people think that this danger primarily concerns older people, but that is a big mistake. Stroke can affect anyone at any age.

Stroke

A stroke is caused by the blockage of blood vessels in the brain, which causes insufficient blood flow to it. Conversely, it can also be caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, resulting in bleeding into the brain. 

Therefore it is important that you know how to recognize the symptoms of a stroke in time and immediately seek medical help. 

Stroke symptoms

We will show you the 10 most common signs that you have just experienced a silent stroke and that another stroke will likely follow soon. 

Speech

During the day we often experience a rush that makes us not even notice this confusion. But one of the signs of a stroke is slurred speech, in the form of speaking oddly and using the wrong words when expressing some information. 

Headache and dizziness

Headaches and dizziness most commonly present as a symptom of stroke in women under 45 years of age. 

Poor vision

A stroke very often first presents as poor vision in one or both eyes. 

Walking and balance

General weakness and apathy are among the symptoms of a stroke. Often people lose their balance and become uncoordinated before a stroke. 
In some cases paralysis occurs.

If you experience these problems, try raising your hands above your head and wait 10 seconds; if one hand uncontrollably falls down, the sign is quite obvious. 

Hiccups

An impending stroke can attack the respiratory system, especially in women. This causes unpleasant hiccups. 

Migraine and headache

Many young patients who experienced a stroke later spoke of frequent migraines and very severe headaches shortly before the stroke. 

Facial pain

A very typical symptom of a stroke is pain on one side of the face. This area can also spread to the limbs.

Paralysis

Paralysis usually affects one part of the face. This is one of the most common signs of a stroke.

Breathing

Breathing problems or an inability to take a breath are a common symptom of a stroke. 

Fatigue

Fatigue, disorientation and confusion are common symptoms of stroke, especially in women. 

You should know all these symptoms well, because only thanks to that can you save your own or your loved ones’ lives if a stroke is approaching.
