Stroke Symptoms These stroke symptoms usually strike suddenly:
The only possible warning sign that stroke might be coming is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), in which the patient experiences some of the early effects of a stroke for up to an hour. As one in three people who suffer a TIA eventually have a stroke, it is crucial to see a doctor as soon as possible after a TIA.
There are two types of stroke: in one case the brain suddenly receives too little blood (an ischemic stroke) and in the other it receives too much (hemorrhagic). About 80% are ischemic, caused by clots or other particles blocking arteries that supply blood to the brain. As brain cells are deprived of oxygen and nutrients, they may begin to die within minutes.
