Introduction
Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die. Early recognition of stroke symptoms can be lifesaving and minimize long-term disability. While some signs appear suddenly, recent studies indicate that subtle warning signs may manifest up to a month before an actual stroke. Recognizing these early signals can prompt timely medical evaluation and intervention.
