One of the most common early indicators of a stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a “mini-stroke.” A TIA occurs when blood flow to the brain is temporarily blocked, causing stroke-like symptoms that typically last for a few minutes or hours. TIAs are a serious warning sign and should never be ignored. Other common early warning signs before a stroke include: Numbness or Weakness,
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms, or legs, particularly on one side of the body. Confusion or Difficulty Speaking: Trouble understanding speech or slurred words. Vision Problems: Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes or blurred vision. Difficulty Walking: Dizziness, loss of balance, or uncoordinated movements. These signs often occur unexpectedly and may appear mild at first, making them easy to overlook. However, early action is critical. If you experience any of these symptoms, even briefly, seek medical help immediately
