Strokes can be life-threatening and often occur without warning.
Early symptoms may manifest up to a month beforehand, such as numbness or weakness on one side of the body, sudden loss of vision, severe headaches, or dizziness.
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), also known as “mini-strokes,” may temporarily mimic stroke symptoms.
Other warning signs include trouble speaking, difficulty with coordination, and unexplained shortness of breath.
Remain alert and seek medical attention promptly if you experience any of these symptoms to reduce the risk of serious outcomes.
