Symptoms of a stroke
The main symptom of a stroke is numbness of the limbs. This is because the motor center of the brain is located next to the large blood vessels. If you are severely paralyzed, or if you are simply unable to write or if you feel symptoms that are only temporary, it is best to see a specialist as soon as possible. Other symptoms of stroke include speech disorders such as slurred pronunciation, and difficulty in staggering and centering when walking.
One thing to note is visual impairment. When you have a stroke, your vision may be blurry or you may see things overlapping. This symptom is sometimes difficult to distinguish from an ophthalmic problem. In this case, it is also a good idea to cover one eye. When one eye is covered If you can't see half of your vision in both eyes, it's more likely a brain problem, and if you can see clearly when you're covered in one eye but can't see when you're covered in the other, it's more likely to be an eye problem.
Transient cerebral ischemia is a temporary onset of stroke symptoms that then return. Even if your symptoms improve, you may actually have had a small stroke, so it's important to visit a specialist to find out what caused it.
Stroke is not proportional to the severity of the symptoms and the severity of the problem. Even if there is a major problem with the blood vessels, there may be no symptoms unless it is an important part of the brain, and even if it is a minor problem, if the motor nerves are touched, the symptoms may be severe. That's why it's important to get an accurate diagnosis in the first place.
Stroke self-diagnosis required for people at high risk of stroke
If you are very likely to have a stroke, or if you have already had one, this self-assessment may be helpful if you suspect mild symptoms.
First, put your hands in front of you, close your eyes, then open your eyes again and look at your hands. If you lose strength due to a stroke, your hand will turn to the side.
If you think you have a speech impediment, try pronouncing palatal and soft palate sounds such as 'lala', 'mamma' and 'gaga'.
