Headaches and Migraines: Persistent headaches, especially those accompanied by changes in severity or frequency, can sometimes precede a stroke. These headaches may be more intense than typical migraines and may be accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, or difficulty speaking.
High Blood Pressure: Uncontrolled hypertension is a leading risk factor for stroke. In the month leading up to a stroke, individuals may experience spikes in blood pressure, which can manifest as headaches, dizziness, chest pain, or visual disturbances. Monitoring blood pressure regularly and seeking medical attention for persistent elevations is crucial for stroke prevention.
Transient Neurological Symptoms: In addition to TIAs, individuals may experience transient neurological symptoms such as sudden weakness or clumsiness in the limbs, difficulty walking or maintaining balance, and temporary loss of coordination. These symptoms may come and go but should not be ignored, as they could signal an underlying vascular issue.
