Mild Stroke Symptoms

Video Transcript

"Now aside from some of the obvious physical symptoms that you'll see, there's some other symptoms that you'll notice that could lead you to a stroke. One of the problems is coordination problems; they might not have paralysis on either side, they just might have problems walking, talking, or other forms of coordination maybe impaired. Another symptom, they may be having a headache; it's very common with it. Another symptom you might see is the person that could be experiencing the stroke may have a sudden headache that doesn't go away and it could be a very extreme headache also. Another symptom you might see is dizziness; a patient may feel very dizzy and may have difficulty speaking and walking because of the dizziness. Aside from that they also might have vision problems. It's very common with a stroke that they could have double vision, they could have blurred vision, maybe they just can't see out of one side. Vision problems alone aren't necessarily a stroke, but it's one more thing that could lead to a path of stroke. Ultimately another symptom that may show up is the patient can go unconscious and if they go unconscious, that may be a more advanced stage, but that would also be another thing that can lead towards a stroke. Now with all these symptoms, they may come and they may go, some may be completely relieved and some may come back. It all depends. Also with these symptoms, they're usually not associated with an pain and with a stroke it's usually these symptoms will come on rather quickly within a few minutes. Another thing to know about strokes is 1/3 of all strokes occurred during sleep and these symptoms aren't even noticed until the patient awakes. Ultimately the worst case in stroke is it could lead to death."
