One month before a stroke, your body sends you these warning signals.

• Numbness or weakness on one side of the body (face, arm or leg)

• Difficulty speaking or understanding

• Loss of vision or blurred vision

• Dizziness or loss of balance

• Intense and unusual headaches

 These signs may correspond to a  mini-stroke (TIA) , which is often a warning sign before a more serious stroke.

 “One month before”: myth or reality?

The message of the image is  exaggerated. 
  There are not always visible signs a month before a stroke.

However, certain  factors or progressive symptoms  may indicate a high risk:

• Unusual fatigue

• Frequent headaches

• High blood pressure

• Palpitations or heart problems

• Occasional tingling or numbness

   Key risk factors

  Some people are more at risk:

  • Hypertension

  • Diabetes

  • High cholesterol

  • Tobacco 

  • Chronic stress

  • Overweight

 

 

 

 

 Every minute counts!

If you observe one or more signs:

• Call emergency services immediately.

• Don’t wait for it to pass.

 The faster the treatment, the higher the chances of recovery.
