Stroke can affect anyone, but women may experience “mild or uncommon” symptoms. Key warning signs include nausea, vomiting, “sudden and severe headache,” shortness of breath, and changes in balance.
Other symptoms include confusion, vision changes, “neck or jaw pain,” numbness on one side, mood swings, and extreme fatigue.
If you notice these signs, “get medical help right away.” Early treatment can save lives, as stroke care is “most effective in the first few hours.” Recognizing these subtle symptoms can lead to faster diagnosis and recovery.
