Failure to respond quickly and effectively to stroke increases the risk of stroke. Because the stroke develops suddenly, it can be difficult to intervene. However, according to research on stroke, the person who will have a stroke may experience stroke symptoms that started a week ago.
SYMPTOMS CAN START A FEW DAYS AGO
Cardiac Screen said: “Stroke symptoms often come on suddenly, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have time to take action. Some people experience symptoms such as headaches, numbness or tingling a few days before they have a serious stroke.
HIGHER CHANCE TO HEAL
“One study found that 43% of stroke patients experienced mini-stroke symptoms up to a week before they had a major stroke. If you take note of these symptoms and seek help even if they pass, then you have a much better chance of a good recovery.”
WHAT IS A MINI BATTLE?
A mini-stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack, is a cardiovascular event caused by a temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain. The main symptoms of a transient ischemic attack, also known as a TIA for short, are the same as for a true stroke. “In the early stages of a transient stroke, it’s impossible to tell whether you’re having a TIA or a complete stroke. A TIA is a warning sign that you may be at risk of having a stroke in the near future, and an evaluation can help doctors determine the best way to reduce the likelihood of this happening.”
