A Month Before a Stroke: Know the Warning Signs & Act Fast 🚨🧠

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either due to a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Recognizing early warning signs—sometimes appearing weeks or even a month before a stroke—can be life-saving.

While a stroke can happen suddenly, many people experience early symptoms that serve as red flags before the major event. Knowing these signs and acting quickly can help prevent severe brain damage or even death.
