The Symptoms of Strokes – Stroking It
July 14, 2008
What is a stroke?
A stroke happens when the blood vessels are either blocked or busted, causing a lack of oxygen in the brain and cutting off air to the brain and other parts of the body, causing the brain and many other parts of the body to die.
What are the symptoms of a stroke?
Typically, the symptoms of a stroke are noticeable beforehand, but most strokes happen suddenly and are usually deadly for the sufferer. If you are lucky enough to catch the signs of a stroke, you should watch out for the following signs of a stroke: having a numbing sensation or weakness in the arms, face and legs of the body, having vision problems in one or both eyes or if you are experiencing double or blurry vision, having difficulties with comprehending words and ideas, having garbled or slow speech, having feelings of dizziness or unsteadiness while walking and having terrible migraines or headaches.
Of course, the symptoms of the stroke vary from person to person and some may only experience one or a few of the symptoms and others may have all of these symptoms at some point in their lives. Also, some strokes can be quick and sudden, leaving the sufferer very little to no time to get help for the illness, in which the sufferer may die instantly and any and all help would be useless.
That is why you should seek a doctor when even the slightest of the symptoms occurs for a long time and find out whether you are a risk for a stroke or some other illness, before it is too late.
Also, having high blood pressure can cause one to have a stroke and that is why you should have your blood pressure check by a physician regularly and/or purchase a blood pressure meter, to keep track of your blood pressure daily. Or you could change your diet to a healthier one to reduce the risk of having a stroke. It is always better to be safe than sorry and dealing with this condition is no different.
