Warning Signs of Stroke Could Appear
as Early as 1 Month Prior

A stroke or can have life-threatening consequences just like a heart attack.
However, there are some early signs of a stroke that start showing up as early
as a month before it actually happens. Here are seven such symptoms—knowing
them might save someone’s life.

Strokes happen when a blood vessel transporting oxygen to the brain bursts or
gets obstructed by a clot. As a result, the brain doesn’t receive much oxygen and
the brain cells start to die off. The functions controlled by the affected part of the
brain will not be performed normally, and this will have a huge impact on health.

A stroke can manifest differently in every individual, but one thing in common is that
it initiates suddenly. Read below the most common symptoms that manifest one month
before a stroke, and if you are experiencing any of these, think about consulting your doctor.

1. Unexpected Numbness or Weakness of the Face, Arms, or Legs
(Usually on One Side of Person’s Body)

Stroke usually affects one hemisphere of the brain;
thus, the effects of the stroke are visible only on one
side of the body. If you notice an uneven smile on a
person’s face, this is a warning sign. Numbness or
weakness in one of the arms can also be a warning sign.


2. Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Fainting

If you notice sudden dizziness, loss of balance, or trouble
walking, you should consider contacting your doctor—as the
symptoms could be signaling a possible brain attack.


3. Sudden Vision Problems

A stroke can affect the area of the brain that controls vision.
So be alert; if you are experiencing a sudden loss of vision,
that could be a sign of a stroke.


4. A Pounding Headache That Comes Suddenly and Without Reason

A stroke can be the cause of a sudden, intense headache that
doesn’t seem natural. Try keeping track of this from now on.
If you find that you are experiencing headaches for no obvious
reasons, this may be an early indication of a stroke.


5. Unforeseen Difficulty in Speaking and Understanding

Trouble with understanding things that usually were never a
problem or sudden confusion are also consequences of a stroke.


6. Loss of Coordination, Unsteadiness

If you start experiencing sudden loss of coordination, that is,
in one moment you are fine but in the next you feel dizzy and
can’t move properly, then don’t ignore such hints that your body
is giving you; these may be signs of a stroke.


7. Shortness of Breath

An unexpected difficulty in breathing can also accompany a stroke.
If this happens, it should be a warning—don’t ignore it. Remember,
early detection is crucial. So, don’t wait if you are experiencing any
one of these symptoms, and visit your doctor.

Great article Ice Wizard. Important info therein. A stroke or seizure is a beyotch so if u feel anything coming on, take whatever med one is supposed to.

but that is a simple seizure or weird feeling like the strokes i have had. that was when my husband was alive and wanted me dead and i almost died quite a few times. Please dont just rely on one valium if u have been scripted other meds. when i became poor, i just figured one med that could treat the most syptoms do what ur doctor advises. i just don't do drs and am so ready for Jesus/
