A doctor has discussed three crucial early warning signs that could signal a stroke<\/a> is on the way. These symptoms <\/a>may appear days before the more recognisable stroke indicators<\/a> become obvious.<\/p>\n

Dr Eric Berg DC, an expert in healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting and author of the bestseller ‘The Healthy Keto Plan’, posted the advice on his TikTok <\/a>page, where he has 2.1 million followers.<\/p>\n

The clip was titled: “These are three early warning signs of a stroke<\/a>” has racked up more than 713k views and 17,100 likes. In the brief video, Dr Berg said: “There are three early warning signs of a stroke<\/a>. These three early signs are not the actual signs that you had a stroke.”<\/p>\n

He added: “That would be like one side of your face starts drooping and you lose function, or you’re trying to move your arm or your leg and it’s not working, or you start to talk and your words are slurred. Those are signs that you had a stroke. But the earliest signs before you have a stroke are a little bit different.<\/p>\n

“Since a stroke causes a blood clot to the brain, you’re going to get a lot of pressure that shows up in the brain, and that’s going to show up as a severe headache. You can feel very nauseous, almost like you want to vomit. And this can come from stress, adrenaline, or cortisol. But most clots are related to having blood sugar issues.<\/p>\n

“Keeping the sugar and the starches out of the diet are going to be a very smart thing if you want to avoid a stroke. Another early sign of a stroke could be hiccups that just are not going away.<\/p>\n

“The last early sign would be chest pain that is not coming from a heart attack. What’s happening is there’s a clot that’s forming in the artery because you’re obstructing oxygen to the heart itself.”<\/p>\n

Signs of a stroke<\/p>\n

The main symptoms of a stroke<\/a> can happen suddenly. They may include:<\/p>\n

face weakness \u2013 one side of your face may droop (fall) and it might be hard to smilearm weakness \u2013 you may not be able to fully lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in one armspeech problems \u2013 you may slur your words or sound confused<\/p>\n

The easiest way to remember these symptoms is the word FAST. This stands for: face, arms, speech, and time to call 999.<\/p>\n

According to the NHS<\/a>, there are other signs that you or someone else is having a stroke. These include:<\/p>\n

weakness or numbness down one side of your bodyblurred vision or loss of sight in one or both eyesfinding it difficult to speak or think of wordsconfusion and memory lossfeeling dizzy or falling overa severe headachefeeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting)<\/p>\n

Symptoms of a stroke can sometimes stop after a short time, so you may think you’re fine. Even if this happens, get medical help straight away.<\/p>\n

A stroke is more likely to happen if you’re older, but it can happen at any age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A doctor has discussed the different symptoms you could experience days before a stroke – and they’re easily…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[7658,10577,59,102,8678,2750,104,2751,617,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-194140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-expert-advice","tag-fitness-and-health","tag-gb","tag-health","tag-heart-attack","tag-heart-disease","tag-nhs","tag-stroke","tag-tiktok","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
