loss stroke risk is indifferent to age gender or health status despite a young or healthy individual's profile cardiovascular diseases are on the rise globally including among the younger population this is undoubtedly the leading cause of death in the United States where every year more than 795,000 people suffer a stroke stroke kills nearly 159,000 Americans each year stay with me as today today we will delve into the seven stroke symptoms one month before it happens you'll learn how to prevent this disease and avoid becoming part of this shocking statistic to illustrate many signs appearing a month
before a stroke are subtle and frequently overlooked leading to misinterpretation recognizing these signs is crucial irrespective of your age health status or presence of comorbidities as Strokes can affect anyone therefore remain Vigilant sharing this video with with your family and friends could be instrumental in Saving Lives additionally I'll clarify the distinctions between ischemic and hemorragic strokes enhancing your understanding of these conditions in addition I will cover what a brain aneurysm is including its warning signs importantly you'll learn about transient es schic attacks which can precede a stroke recognizing their signs and symptoms could be life-saving
for you or a loved one remember if a first-degree relative has experienced a brain aneurysm it's crucial to consult a reputable neurologist for screening even in the absence of symptoms this proactive step is essential for early detection of potential brain conditions okay now let's dive in discover now the seven signs or symptoms that can occur a month before a stroke if this happens to you seek medical attention as soon as possible symptom number one persistently elevated blood pressure discussing persistently high blood pressure in the context of stroke risk highlights the dangers of chronic hypertension if
it is not well controlled it can significantly increase the risk of a stroke blood pressure measures the force exerted by Blood against our artery walls when this pressure escalates known as hypertension it poses significant health risks this elevated pressure can cause damage to the blood vessels leading to narrowing weakening or or even rupture over time all of which significantly contribute to stroke risk if a blood vessel in the brain ruptures due to high blood pressure bleeding can occur resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke similarly if high blood pressure damages arteries that Supply blood to the brain
it can reduce blood flow or cause an obstruction resulting in an es schic stroke therefore managing hypertension is vital adopting a healthier lifestyle and adhering to prescribed medication regimens to control blood pressure are essential steps these measures are crucial to reduce the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases two excessive fatigue excessive fatigue or extreme tiredness can be a symptom or a warning sign before a stroke it's important to remember that fatigue can also have other causes if you're experiencing intense persistent tiredness that may be atypical for you and is not not related to physical
exertion or lack of sleep it could be an alarm this excessive tiredness may be related to changes in blood flow to the brain it can be due to a narrowing of an artery due to atherosclerosis or a possible clot there which interferes with the supply of oxygen so if you're feeling an abnormal level of tiredness also seek medical evaluation sometimes extreme fatigue can preced a transient esic attack Tia signaling a temporary disruption in the brain's blood supply a TIA acts as a critical warning and a temporary condition that may indicate an impending stroke in a
TIA symptoms are temporary and typically last from a few minutes up to several hours without causing permanent brain damage patients experience similar symptoms to those of a stroke but these symptoms fully disappear within less than 24 hours typically this occurs when an artery in the brain is temporar blocked within 24 hours the body successfully dissolves the brain clot thrombus leading to The Disappearance of symptoms this rapid resolution serves as a crucial warning that a stroke may be on the horizon pay close attention to this folks if you notice any transient signs or symptoms it's imperative
to seek medical attention without delay three vision problems If you experience any sudden changes in vision it can be a warning sign blurry vision double vision eye problems or difficulty focusing can signal circulatory damage in the brain and serve as warning signs of a stroke while there are various causes for vision problems it's crucial not to overlook these symptoms vision loss may result from the blockage of an artery supplying blood to the eye often indicating an es schic stroke the most common stroke type so it's essential to take such changes seriously and seek medical evaluation
promptly four sudden and severe headache a sudden and severe headache can precede a stroke it's important to note that not all headaches are related to a stroke and not all Strokes are preceded by a headache in es schemi stroke the headache occurs due to the obstruction of blood flow in the brain these pains when they occur are described as severe and sudden in hemorrhagic stroke characterized by bleeding Within the brain the intense headaches result from increased intracranial pressure due to the bleeding elevating brain pressure Witnesses of stroke incidents often report seeing the affected person clutching
their head displaying an expression of intense pain followed by a loss of consciousness this reaction is particularly common in hemorrhagic Strokes where the headache experienced is frequently described as the most severe in the person's life sometimes a severe headache could also indicate an imminent risk of an aneurysm rupture within the brain five numbness or weakness in body extremities numbness or weakness in the extremities especially on one side of the body can be a warning sign before a stroke such symptoms May manifest during a TIA a temporary condition of reduced blood flow to a part of
the brain this sudden numbness or weakness typically affects a single body part like an arm leg or one side of the face leading to decreased sensitivity although these symptoms often last for just a few minutes to a few hours they should never be overlooked regardless of whether they signal a stroke or another neurological issue immediate medical investigation is essential six speech problems a person about to have a stroke May suddenly have difficulty speaking this can manifest as slurred speech challenges in articulating words or informing complete sentences such difficulties are categorized under Aphasia defined as the
impairment in understanding formulating and expressing speech seven neurological problems individuals on the brink of a stroke whether it be hemorrhagic or esic may exhibit a variety of neurological symptoms these can include memory issues loss of balance as well as nausea and vomiting these symptoms May manifest a few days or even weeks before a cerebral event it's crucial to remember however that various other conditions can present similar symptoms complicating the diagnosis process conditions such as migraines seizures hypoglycemia enalis brain tumors anxiety attacks and infections in the central nervous system for example can all elicit these symptoms
it is imperative to consult a qualified doctor for a comprehensive evalu valuation to accurately determine the cause of these symptoms what is the difference between esic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke the difference between an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke lies in their causes and effects on the brain an ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blockage in the blood supply to a part of the brain this can be caused by a blood clot that forms somewhere else in the body and travels to the brain or by a plaque that forms in the arteries of the
brain itself a prevalent example of a condition that can lead to such clot formation is atrial fibrillation this type of heart arhythmia disrupts the normal smooth flow of blood through the heart combined with other factors it can significantly increase the risk of clot formation within the heart chambers which may then travel to the brain causing an esic stroke these thrombi coming from the heart most of the time then travel to the brain leading to an ischemic stroke thus atrial fibrillation is is a type of cardiac arhythmia related to a schic stroke in the case of
obstruction by plaque there is an accumulation of fat and formation of atherosclerotic plaque which blocks the flow of blood through the brain this can occur in patients with elevated cholesterol high blood pressure diabetes and smokers when blood does not reach a part of the brain the cells in that area can begin to lack oxygen and nutrients which can then lead to brain injury this type of stroke is the most most common and represents 85% of all cases in a hemorrhagic stroke there is a leakage of blood into the brain this occurs when a blood vessel
in the brain bursts and the blood spreads to areas where it shouldn't be the leakage of blood can cause pressure and damage the surrounding brain cells this can result in various complications in summary in an esic stroke there is a blockage in the blood flow while in a hemorrhagic stroke there is a leakage of blood into the brain brain both types of stroke are serious and require immediate medical attention to minimize future damage a common cause of a hemorrhagic stroke the type that involves bleeding is a cerebral aneurysm and it is possible to know if
you have a cerebral aneurysm before it ruptures cerebral aneurysms are abnormal dilations in a brain artery looking like a bubble in the arteries there's a risk they may weaken and rupture that's where the danger lies often a cerebral aneurysm doesn't have any symptoms until a rupture occurs the individual never felt anything and suddenly a cerebral artery ruptures and they have a hemorrhagic stroke this can happen in many cases despite this there are some signs and symptoms that can also indicate the presence of a cerebral aneurysm it's important to know that if you suspect a cerebral
aneurysm you must seek medical attention as soon as possible because the rupture of an aneurysm is a medical emergency but the good news is that not all aneurysms rupture and many people live with them without any problem many people out there have a cerebral aneurysm and don't even know it but it's important for you to know that it exists how to detect a brain aneurysm when a doctor suspects a cerebral aneurysm they may order specific tests such as a CT and geography Mr angiography or cerebral arteriography to check if the aneurysms are at risk of
rupturing and if they need to be treated for those who are wondering whether it is possible to diagnose an aneurysm there indeed is such a possibility since most of them are asymptomatic an aneurysm is investigated when there is a family history therefore it's important for your first-degree relatives to undergo investigation how to prevent a stroke control your blood pressure if you have diabetes control your blood glucose levels Main maintain your ideal weight exercise regularly at least 150 minutes per week eat fresh and healthy foods avoid processed foods avoid consuming sugar excess saturated fats and excessive
alcohol if you smoke consider changing your habits sleep well control your cholesterol keep your checkups up to date with your cardiologist this will indeed prevent a possible stroke in the future I hope you like the video If so consider giving it a thumbs up this topic is of public interest so share it with your loved ones if you're new to our Channel don't forget to subscribe to support our growth and hit the notification Bell so you don't miss out on our next video we're curious to know did you know about these silent signs of a
