A stroke is a dangerous condition that occurs when the brain does not receive enough blood due to a blood clot or a hemorrhage in the brain. The symptoms of a stroke are clear and definitive. Many times it is about how sudden the symptoms appear rather than their length.
Loss of Balance
Symptoms include suddenly dizziness and having trouble with coordination, balancing or standing up straight when walking. All of this may occur without any warning.
Numbness
Symptoms include feeling one side of your body weakening and unresponsive, particularly your hands, arms or legs. A person may also experience one side of the face feeling slump. Speaking or forming words may be another challenge.
Sight
Symptoms include suddenly having trouble seeing out of one or both eyes unrelated to external strain (such as bright lights or extensive computer work), which does not fade with a couple seconds of rest.
Headache
Symptoms include suddenly getting a debilitating headache without any observable reason.
Important Facts
The gradual (from half an hour to several hours) onset of any single above symptoms could be caused by conditions other than a stroke. The only definitive sign is how suddenly they appear and whether you feel multiple symptoms all at once.
