Early warning signs of a stroke may include numbness or weakness in the arms, legs, or face, confusion, or trouble walking. Experiencing a TIA (transient ischemic attack) can also signal an increased likelihood of a stroke within the next three months.
The key takeaway is to act immediately if you notice any stroke symptoms to receive prompt medical attention.
Being prepared for a possible stroke involves understanding your risk factors, identifying the nearest stroke center, and keeping a list of your medications ready for healthcare providers.
