8 Warning Signs You Could Be Having A Stroke

Speech problems such as a hard time getting words out, speech that’s slurred or even speech loss.

Sensory issues such as a feeling of pins and needles or a reduced sensation of touch.

Facial problems such as muscle weakness or even complete numbness.

Issues with limbs such as numbness or weakness.

You might also have a hard time with swallowing, experience serious headaches, have a hard time understanding, and experience mental confusion or experience rapid or what’s called involuntary eye movement.


Here are a few ways to minimize your overall risk:

    • You’ll want to take measures to reduce your blood pressure. If high blood pressure runs in the family, then you need to be even more proactive. This might mean taking blood pressure medications along with taking measures to reduce the amount of salt you consume. Drinking more water also helps as it tends to help your body eliminate salt better.
    • Try to get your weight down to a healthier level. Weight is one of the primary factors in increased risk for stroke. It causes complications with diseases such as Diabetes, but it also makes it tougher to exercise and have the proper blood flow. Even a small reduction in weight can reduce your risk of a stroke dramatically.
    • Make attempts to get more exercise. We know that exercise for a lot of people fills them with dread, but it’s something you have to take seriously. Try to find exercise that you can enjoy. Consistent exercise helps to relieve stress, control weight and reduce blood pressure. Combine this with the proper diet it can provide you with more sustained energy.
    • Make an effort to drink more water and cut out alcohol and sugary drinks. You’d be surprised at how many people don’t get enough water every day. Water consumption can be the easiest way to help reduce your risk of a stroke. If you can’t cut out unhealthy drinks, then at least make an effort to reduce your intake of them.
