A stroke occurs when a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot. Within minutes, the nerve cells in that area of the brain are damaged, and they may die within a few hours. As a result, the part of the body controlled by the damaged section of the brain cannot function properly.
Before having a stroke, you may have one or more transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which are warning signals that a stroke may soon occur. TIAs are often called mini-strokes because their symptoms are similar to those of a stroke. However, unlike stroke symptoms, TIA symptoms usually disappear within 10 to 20 minutes, although they may last up to 24 hours.
Symptoms of a stroke begin suddenly and may include:
Time is critical in diagnosing and treating a stroke. The first step will be a physical exam and tests of your brain function, followed by a type of X-ray called a CT scan of the brain to establish the type of stroke-ischemic or hemorrhagic. This distinction is critical because the medicine given for an ischemic stroke (tissue plasminogen activator, or t-PA) could be life-threatening if given to someone with a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain). A prompt diagnosis is also crucial because t-PA should be given within 3 hours of when your symptoms began.
Ischemic stroke: Doctors will first stabilize your condition and try to restore or improve blood flow to the brain. If less than 3 hours have passed since your symptoms began, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), a clot-dissolving medicine, may be given. Research shows that the medicine can improve recovery from a stroke, especially if given within 90 minutes of your first symptoms.1
Hemorrhagic stroke: Treatment for a hemorrhagic stroke is difficult. It includes monitoring and controlling bleeding and pressure in the brain and other efforts to stabilize vital signs, especially blood pressure.
After your initial emergency treatment, health professionals will focus on preventing complications such as pneumonia and future strokes. Your health professional will also involve you in a stroke rehabilitation program as soon as possible.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
New-onset thunderclap headache, progressive headaches, or headaches unlike any before — a potential sign of raised intracranial pressure or haemorrhage.
Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain presenting as convulsions, focal seizures, or episodes of altered awareness — requiring neurosurgical evaluation.
Weakness, numbness, or loss of coordination affecting one side of the body, slurred speech, visual disturbance or cognitive decline.
Symptoms of ICP including headache, nausea, vomiting, and papilloedema — may indicate hydrocephalus, tumour, or subdural haematoma.
Back or neck pain radiating to the limbs, progressive weakness in arms or legs, bladder/bowel dysfunction — signs of cord compression.
MRI or CT showing tumour, AVM, aneurysm, haemorrhage or structural lesion requiring specialist neurosurgical opinion.
