According to the CDC, not only are strokes the top cause of long-term, serious disability but also the fifth-highest cause of death in America. However, the quicker you can identify a stroke and get the proper help, the better your chances are of not becoming a part of those statistics.
Signs & Symptoms
The best stroke outcomes come from the person being treated within the first three hours of exhibiting symptoms. That means it is critical for people to know how to identify a stroke as quickly as possible. The most common signs of a stroke include:
-Sudden severe headache with no known origin
-Sudden difficulties with vision – blurriness or double vision
-Sudden inability to understand speech or speak themselves
-Sudden loss of balance, coordination or sudden trouble walking
-Sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body, in the legs, arms or face.
