Your speech can warn of an upcoming stroke as early as a week before the event.
Many people die of stroke because the brain cannot survive without a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood. Therefore, it is extremely important to provide emergency medical care as soon as possible. Fortunately, some people may experience warning signs days before a stroke.
Part of the life-threatening nature of a stroke is due to its ability to strike out of nowhere. Combined with the lack of oxygen getting to your brain, you end up needing serious medical attention.
Warning signs of an ischemic stroke can appear as early as “seven days” before an attack, a study reports. Considered the most common type of stroke, ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot that blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.
One of the warning signs of a TIA is sudden dysarthria.

“Dysarthria, better known as speech difficulties, occurs when the muscles you use to speak are weak or difficult to control. This sudden warning sign can appear as early as a week before a full-blown emergency medical treatment begins. 43 percent of participants with a mini-stroke experienced early signs at some point during the week preceding the stroke,” says neurologist Alexandra Alekhina, commenting on the study specifically for MedicForum.
TIA is often a harbinger of a serious stroke.
