Strokes can be life-threatening and may show warning signs up to a month before they occur. Early indicators include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, sudden vision loss, severe headaches, dizziness, difficulty speaking or coordinating movements, and unexplained shortness of breath. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), or “mini-strokes,” can also mimic these symptoms temporarily. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to consult a doctor immediately to prevent severe consequences.
