More About Us

A stroke is basically when the blood flow to a part of the brain is somehow cut off. It can be the result of a number of factors. It is something that is more likely to affect older people, but it can also strike people that are in the prime of their lives.

A stroke can be fatal, so it should be treated as an immediate medical emergency. Even if the symptoms do not appear to be severe to begin with, you should still get help for the patient straightaway.

Stroke victims can survive and they can even make a near or full recovery, but it is imperative that they are found medical assistance without hesitation. Below are 10 important stroke symptoms to look out for.

Symptom #1: Difficulty Seeing

What we see is a mental image of the world around us that has been processed by our brains. As the information comes in from the eyes, the brain uses that information to create something that is meaningful to us. This means that if our brain was to develop a problem, our sight can develop a problem as well.

One symptom of a stroke is that the patient can develop difficulties in seeing properly. It will often occur in one eye only but it can also occur in both. It is not usual for such a symptom to develop suddenly and it should be treated as something that is potentially serious.
