Often there are no symptoms or warning signs for stroke. Occasionally, there are stroke warning signs that you may want to keep in mind in the event that you or a loved one experiences the following:
- Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arms or legs, particularly on one side of the body
- Loss of speech or trouble understanding speech
- Sudden unexplained memory loss
- Sudden dimness or loss of vision in one eye
- Double vision
- Sudden severe, acute headache
- Dizziness or loss of balance/gait
These stroke warning signs are not always evident, therefore a Life Line Screening preventive health screening is important to your personal health and wellbeing.
