Doctors warn: Your body sends clear signals a month before a stroke — don’t ignore these signs
“While the medical community has made significant improvements to reduce the severity and complications of strokes with early interventions, these efforts are of limited value if patients do not recognize stroke symptoms,” Dr. Khurram Nasir, chief of the division of cardiovascular prevention and wellness at Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Texas, said.
“Time is critical for treating stroke. The earlier people recognize symptoms, the better their chances are to reduce long-term disability from stroke,”he added.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or disrupted.
Strokes can cause brain damage and death. In fact, stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Some symptoms of stroke at young adults include:
1. Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body
