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

 Stroke: the warning signs your body may send

A stroke is a medical emergency that can occur suddenly. Contrary to some misconceptions, it doesn’t always happen without warning. In some cases, the body sends  warning signals  that should not be ignored.

 Signs that should alert you immediately

Even though they appear suddenly and disappear quickly, these symptoms are very serious:

• Numbness or weakness on one side of the body (face, arm or leg)

• Difficulty speaking or understanding

• Loss of vision or blurred vision

• Dizziness or loss of balance

• Intense and unusual headaches

 These signs may correspond to a  mini-stroke (TIA) , which is often a warning sign before a more serious stroke.

 “One month before”: myth or reality?

The message of the image is  exaggerated. 
  There are not always visible signs a month before a stroke.

However, certain  factors or progressive symptoms  may indicate a high risk:

• Unusual fatigue

• Frequent headaches

• High blood pressure

  BiologicalSciences

• Palpitations or heart problems

• Occasional tingling or numbness

   Key risk factors
  

  Some people are more at risk:

  • Hypertension

  • Diabetes

  • High cholesterol

  • Tobacco 

  • Chronic stress

  • Overweight

     What should you do if you are in doubt?

     Every minute counts!

    If you observe one or more signs:

    • Call emergency services immediately.

    • Don’t wait for it to pass.

     The faster the treatment, the higher the chances of recovery.

     Conclusion

     The body can sometimes send signals,
     but a stroke often occurs  without clear warning.
      The most important thing is to  recognize the signs and act quickly.
