It is very essential for people to be familiar with the
symptoms of a stroke so that immediate medical attention may be
provided to minimize damage to the brain.
The symptoms
associated with stroke are confusion while speaking or understanding,
sudden vision trouble, sudden trouble while walking, dizziness, loss
of balance, and of course a sudden headache.
Usually, strokes and migraines are quite unrelated but in people
under 40, migraine may be the cause of a stroke, especially if the
migraine has been a long-term untreated migraine. Also, the risk is
more if the migraine is a classical migraine (with aura). This
high-risk category should also avoid other precipitating factors like
smoking and a high cholesterol diet.
It is important to
recognize and treat a stroke at the earliest as it may lead to
paralysis (hemiplegia) or weakness of one side of the body
(hemiparesis). The patient might also suffer from depression and
emotional problems. The treatment can be undertaken while the stroke
is still in progress by either dissolving the blood clot or stopping
or at least controlling the bleeding.
