I've blogged about stroke risk in the past. Now it's time to talk about what it feels like to have a stroke. I used a combination of talking to a physician friend, someone I know who has had a stroke, and looking on line.

Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg on one side of the body<br />2. Sudden loss of vision, particularly in one eye<br />3. Loss of speech, trouble talking or understanding what others are saying<br />4. Sudden onset of a severe headache<br />5. Unexplained dizziness, unstable walking or falling<br /><br /><a href="http://www.healthyes.com/Public/Stroke/StrokeMain.aspx">Screening for stroke risk</a> can help you talk with a professional about your risk of stroke and how to know if your having a stroke.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;add=http://preventingstroke.blogspot.com"><img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/tech-fav-1.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8171018735192828156-4224844826130462020?l=preventingstroke.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>sdnelmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02763654514715997670noreply@blogger.com0
