People often ignore this sign because it feels like simple tiredness.
But persistent, unexplained fatigue — especially alongside dizziness or headaches — may mean the brain isn’t getting enough oxygen.
If a person suddenly:
-
Sleeps more than usual
-
Feels exhausted after normal tasks
-
Struggles with basic coordination
…it may be an early red flag.
9. High Blood Pressure Spikes
High blood pressure (even without symptoms) is the #1 cause of stroke.
If someone regularly sees high readings like:
-
140/90
-
150/100
-
or higher
…they are entering the danger zone.
Sometimes high blood pressure causes headaches, chest pressure, or shortness of breath — all warning signs weeks before a stroke.
Why These Early Signs Matter
Many people ignore early symptoms because they go away.
But a stroke rarely comes out of nowhere — the body usually tries to warn us.
Recognizing early signs can:
-
Prevent permanent disability
-
Prevent brain damage
-
Save someone’s life
Immediate evaluation by a professional is essential.
When to Seek Emergency Help (FAST Rule)
Even if symptoms last only a few minutes, seek help if you see:
F — Face
One side droops when smiling.
A — Arm
Arm weakness or numbness.
S — Speech
Speech is slurred or strange.
T — Time
Call emergency services immediately.
Time is the biggest factor in preventing brain damage.
Final Thoughts
A stroke can be devastating, but many early symptoms appear up to 90 days before the attack.
Paying attention to these warning signs — especially TIAs, dizziness, vision problems, headaches, and numbness — can make a life-saving difference.
