1. Sudden Vision Changes

Blurred or double vision, or complete loss of vision in one or both eyes, can be an early sign of a stroke. Often dismissed as temporary or caused by tiredness, these symptoms should not be ignored.

2. Unexplained Dizziness or Balance Issues

Feeling suddenly off-balance, unsteady, or experiencing vertigo without a clear cause can indicate a stroke. This is especially concerning if it’s accompanied by nausea or trouble walking.

3. Severe Headache Without a Known Cause

A sudden, intense headache—often described as the "worst headache of your life"—can be a sign of a hemorrhagic stroke. This is commonly misinterpreted as a migraine or tension headache.

4. Sudden Confusion or Trouble Speaking

Difficulty finding words, slurred speech, or not understanding what others are saying are telltale signs. These can be subtle and sometimes mistaken for fatigue or stress.

5. Weakness or Numbness

While weakness or numbness on one side of the body is a well-known stroke sign, it can sometimes appear in subtle forms, like clumsiness in one hand or a heavy feeling in a leg.

Why It Matters:

If you or someone around you experiences any of these symptoms—even briefly—act FAST and seek emergency medical help immediately. Early treatment is critical in minimizing damage and improving recovery outcomes.
