Signs of a mini stroke can be quite similar to those of a full stroke, and as such it is important to seek medical attention right away to determine the extent of the condition. Sign of a mini stroke vary based on which blood vessel gets clogged. The part of the body which shows the signs of a mini stroke depends upon which part of the brain (the part which controls that particular body part) is facing a lack of blood supply.
It is important that we understand signs of a mini stroke that not everyone who suffers a mini stroke with show the same signs. Typically, the signs will begin very suddenly and may also vary depending on the specific part of the brain that is being affected. A mini stroke in an area of the brain that is not used for daily functioning may show no symptoms at all while one that is affecting brain regions that are heavily used may cause you to become completely debilitated.
Signs of a mini stroke may be subtle or obvious, some of the most common mini stroke symptoms are:
1) Weakness/numbness on one side of the body. Sometimes face, legs and arms on one side feel weaker than the other.
2) Inability to understand what another person is speaking. Sometimes if the blood is not flowing to the brain, it results in temporary incomprehension.
3) Speech Problems - You might think you are talking but nothing is coming out or you may not be coherent.
4) Sudden forgetfulness- Everybody does this sometimes, but if you forget what you are doing and are surprised about your current location/activity/surroundings, this could be a sign of a mini stroke.
5) They experience dizziness, cannot walk and may fall.
6) Many also experience double or blurry vision when having a mini stroke.
7) Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
It is important to take action to curb it in order to protect yourself from recurrence of stroke in future. Experiencing signs of mini stroke are a lucky warning so that you may avoid a bigger problem in future. Act on it as soon as you can.
