A stroke happens about every 40 seconds. Each year, about 795,000 Americans have a stroke. Do you know the warning signs??If you do have stroke warning signs, this means your brain isnt getting the blood it needs. Damage may be temporary or permanent. For example, you might lose the ability to speak, but recover it with time. You might have partial or complete weakness, for example, in the use of an arm or leg.
The important thing is what you do if stroke symptoms happen. The sooner the treatment, the less chance of serious damage to the brain. And this means less chance of permanent disability.
Stroke Warning Signs Sometimes symptoms of stroke develop gradually. But if you are having a stroke, you are more likely to have one or more sudden warning signs like these:
* Numbness or weakness in your face, arm, or leg, especially on one side?
* Confusion or trouble understanding other people
?* Trouble speaking?
* Trouble seeing with one or both eyes?
* Trouble walking or staying balanced or coordinated
