A month before a stroke, your body sends you these warning signals

Introduction

It’s easy to ignore the tiny signals our bodies send us amidst the daily chaos. But when it comes to health, knowledge is key. A stroke is a dangerous medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Understanding the warning signs can mean the difference between life and death. Here, we’ll discuss the signals your body may be sending you one month before a stroke.

Understanding Stroke

Before looking at the warning signs, let’s examine the severity of a stroke. When blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, brain tissue doesn’t receive enough nutrients and oxygen, increasing the risk of stroke. This can have serious consequences, including paralysis, speech problems, and even death.

Warning signs to look out for

1. Sudden weakness or numbness

One of the most common warning signs of an impending stroke is sudden weakness or numbness, usually on one side of the body. This can occur in the face, arm, or leg. If you experience sudden weakness or numbness, especially if it is on one side, seek medical help immediately.

2. Difficulty speaking or understanding language

Difficulty speaking is another warning sign of a stroke. You may have slurred speech or difficulty understanding others. In some cases, those affected may not be able to speak at all. Any sudden change in speech should prompt a visit to the emergency room.

3. Vision Problems
