These Stroke Warning Signs Can Appear 24 Hours Before, Most People Miss Them

Most people who have a stroke got a warning the day before. They just did not know what they were looking at. In this video, Dr. Leo Mercer walks you through the five stroke warning signs that can appear up to 24 hours before a full stroke, including the brief facial numbness that feels like a dentist visit, the sudden dimming in one eye that most people blame on tiredness, and the word that simply disappears mid-sentence. Each one is short, strange, and easy to explain away. Each one is your brain asking for help. You will also learn why the 24 hours after any of these symptoms appear is the most critical window in all of stroke medicine, what happens inside your blood vessels while you sleep that makes the night especially dangerous, and which three medical tests give your doctor the clearest picture of your current stroke risk. If you are over 60, or someone you love is, this is the conversation that should have happened at your last appointment but probably did not.
