What Are the Potential Sequelae of a Stroke?

Stroke is a serious disease that can cause thrombosis in blood vessels. Patients with thrombosis may experience shock and fainting, and in severe cases, it can even lead to death. Therefore, patients with stroke should seek timely treatment and control their emotions on a daily basis. Stroke patients often suffer from many sequelae, the most common being facial paralysis, distorted eyes and mouth, unclear speech, and persistent headaches.

The symptoms of distorted eyes and mouth in stroke patients are similar to those of stroke patients. Mild cases may only appear uncomfortable, while severe cases can affect patients' daily lives, such as eating.

Some stroke patients who have recovered may still have speech impairments and are unable to speak normally. Over time, this can cause physical and emotional harm to patients.

Some stroke patients may have limb dysfunction, such as difficulty walking or lifting objects with their arms, even after the condition has been controlled through emergency treatment. This can severely affect patients' quality of life.

Stroke patients often experience sequelae such as transient ischemic attacks, which may manifest as symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and weakness in one limb. These symptoms usually develop slowly and often occur during sleep or rest. In cases caused by emboli, there may be no precursor symptoms, and the onset is usually sudden, reaching a peak within minutes.

Stroke patients may experience a sudden increase in dizziness and headache, or a change from intermittent to persistent severe headache. It is generally believed that headache and dizziness are precursors to ischemic stroke, while severe headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting are precursors to hemorrhagic stroke sequelae. These symptoms are common in stroke patients.
