Many People Miss These Common Stroke Warning Signs Until It’s Too Late.

One of the most common early warning signs is temporary weakness or numbness affecting one side of the body. A person may notice difficulty moving an arm, leg, or part of the face. In some cases, these symptoms disappear within minutes or hours. Such episodes may be a transient ischemic attack (TIA), often referred to as a “mini-stroke.” Although temporary, a TIA can be a serious warning that a larger stroke may occur in the future.
