Mild Stroke Symptoms: More Serious than you Realize?
Mild stroke symptoms are often unnoticeable even to people who have had strokes in the past, but they can have devastating effects, especially if a person has more than one of them. Studies have found that around 70% of people, regardless of age, sex, or other factors, do not have any idea what has caused their symptoms, and under 50% go to their doctor within three hours of having their mini stroke. The problem is that up to 20% of people suffering from a mild stroke go on to have a major stroke within 90 days.A mild stroke, or mini stroke, happens when there is a short period of time when there is not enough blood flowing to a certain part of the brain. The symptoms often vary depending on the section of the brain affected, but can last for a few minutes up to 24 hours.Symptoms of a mini stroke can vary widely. If the section of the brain affected is rarely used, then the symptoms might be completely missed, but if for example the stroke affects the part of the brain controlling speech, the person may have trouble speaking for a couple of hours or even a whole day.Below are some symptoms common to all mild strokes:Sudden issues understanding what other people are talking about or trouble talkingIssues seeing in either or both eyes and constant blurrinessSudden intense headache that has no known underlying causeConfusion and lack of the ability to think clearlyFailure to find balance or having trouble walking for a short period of timeEven if these symptoms seem minor and do not last for a long period of time, they could be signs of a mild stroke, which can lead to much larger problems down the line. Do not ignore these warning signs and visit your doctor as soon as possible. With up to one out of five people having a serious stroke within three months, going to the doctor is incredibly important for your well-being.
How do you know if you've had a mini stroke?
A TIA or mini stroke, is more accurately characterized as a “warning stroke,” a warning you should take very seriously. The warning means that a 'real' stoke can happen.You will see and hear speech and visual disturbance, and numbness or weakness in the face, arms and legs. However, a TIA does not last as long as a stroke. The effects often only last for a few minutes or hours and fully resolve within 24 hours.
