Everything You Should Know About Stroke Symptoms

Written by the Healthline Editorial Team
Medically Reviewed by

A stroke happens when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted. If oxygen-rich blood doesn’t reach
the brain, brain cells begin to die and permanent brain damage can occur. There are two types of
brain stroke. With an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the brain. If you have a
hemorrhagic stroke, a weak blood vessel bursts and you experience bleeding into the brain.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting approximately 800,000 people each
year. Many people survive a stroke and recover with rehabilitation such as occupational, speech, or
physical therapy.

Depending on the severity of the stroke and how long the blood flow to the brain was interrupted, a
stroke can cause temporary or permanent disability. The sooner you recognize signs of a stroke and
seek medical attention, the better your chances of recovering and avoiding serious brain damage or
disability.
Symptoms of a stroke

Recognizing the symptoms of a stroke and getting help as quickly as possible can lead to a better
outlook. Early intervention can reduce the amount of time the blood flow to your brain is disrupted.
Keep reading to learn more about the major signs of stroke.

Sudden weakness

Sudden weakness or numbness in your arms, legs, or face is a typical sign of stroke, especially if you
experience weakness on only one side of the body. If you smile and look in the mirror, you may notice
that one side of your face droops. If you try and raise both arms, you may have difficulty lifting one
side. Depending on the severity, a stroke can also lead to paralysis on one side of your body.

Sudden confusion

A stroke can cause sudden confusion. For example, if you’re typing on your computer or having a
conversation, you may suddenly have difficulty speaking, thinking, or understanding speech.

Sudden changes in vision

Loss of vision or difficulty seeing in one or both eyes is another symptom of stroke. You may
suddenly lose your vision completely, or experience blurred or double vision.

Sudden loss of balance

Due to weakness on one side of the body, you may experience difficulty with walking, loss of balance
or coordination, or dizziness.

Sudden headache

If a severe headache develops suddenly with no known cause, you might be having a stroke. This
headache may be accompanied by dizziness or vomiting.

If you have a history of migraine headaches, it may be difficult to identify this symptom or vision
problems as signs of stroke. Talk to your doctor about how to determine whether you’re having a
stroke or a migraine. Because strokes can be life-threatening, always seek immediate medical help if
you suspect symptoms of a stroke.

Fast action after stroke symptoms

If you’re having a stroke, you may experience one or multiple symptoms. Although you’re likely to
recognize odd symptoms or feel like something isn’t quite right with your body, you may not realize
you have a serious problem until it’s too late.

Stroke symptoms can develop slowly over hours or days. If you have a ministroke, also known
as transient ischemic attack (TIA), symptoms are temporary and usually improve within one or two
hours. In this case, you may blame sudden symptoms on stress, a migraine, or nerve problems.
Any signs or symptoms of stroke require further investigation by a doctor. If you get to the hospital
within three hours of the first symptoms of an ischemic stroke, your doctor can give you a medication
to dissolve blood clots and restore blood flow to the brain. Fast action improves your odds of
recovering fully after a stroke. It also reduces the severity of disabilities that can result from a stroke.

A simple FAST test can help you identify a stroke in yourself and others.

 F (Face): Ask the person to smile. Look for signs of drooping on one side of the face.
 A (Arms): Ask the person to raise their arms. Look for a downward drift in one arm.
 S (Speech): Ask the person to repeat a phrase without slurring. For example, you could have them
say, “The early bird catches the worm.”
 T (Time): Waste no time. Immediately call your local emergency services if you or someone you
know shows signs of a stroke.

Risk factors
Anyone can have a stroke, but some people are at a higher risk. Knowing you have an increased risk
for stroke can help you and your family and friends prepare in case you experience symptoms.

Some risk factors, such as your age and family history, are out of your control. You can reduce other
risk factors, though, by working with your doctor and making lifestyle changes. Seek treatment for any
conditions that may increase your risk for stroke. Adopting healthy habits, such as exercising
regularly, reducing alcohol intake, and eating a balanced diet can also help decrease your risk.

Outlook

Knowing the symptoms of stroke can help you receive help quickly and improve your outlook. Early
treatment can increase your risk for survival and decrease your risk for more serious complications of
stroke, which can include:

 paralysis or muscle weakness on one side of the body

 difficulty swallowing or speaking
 memory loss or difficulty thinking and understanding language
 pain, numbness, or tingling sensations on part of the body
 changes in behavior or mood
Call your local emergency services immediately if you think you or someone near you is having a
stroke.

Don’t ignore the signs

Other conditions, such as seizures and migraines, can mimic the symptoms of a stroke. This is why
you shouldn’t try to self-diagnose. Even if you have a TIA and your symptoms disappear, don’t ignore
the signs. A TIA increases the risk for an actual stroke, so you’ll need testing to determine the cause
of your ministroke. You’ll also need to start treatment to reduce your risk of having another one.
