5. Dizziness
If you are having feelings of dizziness that causes you to have difficulty walking, it could be a sign of a stroke. Many people feel dizzy when they stand up too fast or may feel dizzy simply because there is a lack of blood flow to the brain. However, if you stand up and feel dizzy and have difficulty walking, you may be experiencing a stroke.
One of the issues with strokes is that many people mistake some of the symptoms of a stroke with another condition. This is especially true with dizziness as many people consider it to be a viral symptom, when in fact there is a true loss of blood to the brain and a stroke is occurring. It is important to let your doctor know if you are experiencing dizziness at any time as it could be the result of a stroke or some other serious issue such as a heart attack.
