What Are the Warning Signs of a Stroke?
According to Dr. Aremmia Tanious,
a neurologist with Jefferson Medical Associates, "Warning
signs are clues your body sends that your brain is not receiving
enough oxygen. If you observe one or more of these signs of a
stroke or "brain attack," don't wait, call a doctor
or 911 right away!"
- Sudden weakness or numbness
of the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body
- Sudden dimness or loss of vision,
particularly in one eye
- Sudden difficulty speaking or
trouble understanding speech
- Sudden severe headache with
no known cause
- Unexplained dizziness, unsteadiness,
or sudden falls, especially with any of the other signs
