Introduction
Imagine you’re going about your daily routine when, out of nowhere, something feels off. Maybe your vision blurs or your arm feels strangely numb. These could be more than just minor annoyances—they might be your body’s way of warning you about an impending stroke. It might be the difference between life and death to recognize these indications. So, let’s dive deep into the warning signs your body might send you a month before a stroke.
Understanding Stroke
First things first, what exactly is a stroke? A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting enough oxygen and nutrients. There are two main types: ischemic strokes, caused by blockages, and hemorrhagic strokes, caused by bleeding. Knowing the difference is crucial, but recognizing the early signs is even more critical.
