Early symptoms of stroke include slurred speech, facial drooping, weakness in the limbs, and numbness in the arms and legs. Some patients may experience memory loss or fainting, while others may have dizziness. Different patients may present with different symptoms. It is important for patients to seek timely medical evaluation to determine the condition and receive treatment under a doctor's guidance, so as not to delay recovery. In daily life, attention should be paid to getting adequate rest, avoiding staying up late, and ensuring sufficient sleep.
