Symptoms of stroke in women are diverse and include: 1. Impaired consciousness: may manifest as drowsiness, coma, or varying degrees of loss of consciousness. 2. Limb numbness: may experience numbness, weakness, or paralysis in one or both sides of the body. 3. Dizziness and headache: sudden dizziness or headache may be a warning sign of stroke. 4. Slurred speech: difficulty speaking, unclear articulation, or inability to understand others' language. 5. Unsteady gait: abnormal walking pattern, prone to falling. In addition, female stroke patients may also experience difficulty swallowing, tongue paralysis, facial drooping, drooling, and inability to close the eyes. If any of the above symptoms occur, stroke should be suspected and immediate medical attention sought.
