The Ministry of Health and Population revealed 5 warning signs indicating the possibility of a stroke, which included:
1- Sudden weakness in the face, arm, or leg
2- Sudden confusion and difficulty speaking
3- Difficulty seeing with one or both eyes
4- Difficulty walking or feeling a loss of balance
5- Severe headache for no apparent reason.
Stroke is the second most common cause of death, accounting for 1.85 thousand cases annually. The numbers may be depressing, but it is also alarming to know that 80% of stroke cases are preventable, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Strokes can be more prevalent in certain populations, geographic areas and certain age groups, adding that young people have become more susceptible to strokes in recent years.
