8 Stroke Warning Signs and 9 Tips to Prevent It

 

Warning Sign #5: Numbness or Weakness
Tingling or heaviness in one arm or leg that comes and goes may be your body’s way of signaling trouble. This often occurs on one side of the body.

Warning Sign #4: Sudden Headaches
A headache unlike your usual pattern—sudden, severe, or accompanied by dizziness—may be an early warning.

Warning Sign #3: Trouble Walking or Balancing
Feeling clumsy, dizzy, or losing coordination without explanation is often overlooked but can be a precursor to a stroke.

Warning Sign #2: Memory Lapses or Confusion
Difficulty recalling words, forgetting simple tasks, or becoming easily disoriented may point to decreased brain function. Mini-hook: Have you ever walked into a room and couldn’t remember why? What if it happened too often?
