The only way a doctor can help a patient is by inquiring. Escape stroke easily. Never wait for complications. It is good to read and know current issues but it is better to read about your own health.
If symptoms of approaching stroke are recognized and proper medical care is immediately instituted, the stroke can be prevented or held in check for many years. A stroke is inevitable. The following symptoms are all characterized by their shortness. Lasting for several only for a minute with no aftereffects, patient is lulled into believing the symptoms are not significant, and, so, he dismisses and ultimately forgets them. They are, however, early warning signals. Watch carefully for the following signals and report to your doctor on time.
Hearing loss may be partial or complete or for moments or a few minutes.
Nausea, most particularly if it comes and goes quickly.
Numbness or prickling on the face, arms, legs, and side, especially if only on one side.
Falling without known cause either while conscious or blacking out for a few moments. Return to conscious is full complete.
Temporary difficulty in swallowing that is unrelated to any cause.
Momentary difficulty in speaking, such as stammering or a thickness in the throat or tongue.
Headache throbbing in consonance with the heart, of very brief duration and without reason.
Amnesia lasting only a few seconds.
Double vision, a temporary aberration, returning quickly to normal sight.
Difficulty in understanding the written and the spoken word, lasting only a few minutes.
Temporary loss of voluntary muscle control, lasting from seconds to a minute or two.
An inability to feel pain or temperature, usually on one side of the face or the body that disappears quickly.
Brief loss of muscular coördination in the leg, arm, or one side of the body.
Brief paralysis or weakness, usually moderate, of both legs and both arms.
Dizziness- a feeling that everything is spinning, lasting a few seconds.
Inability to recognize persons or things that passes quickly.
Early treatment can block a stroke. Prevention is better than cure.

Tips on How to Have a Healthy Morning Every day.
Stretching is invaluable for all ages, but it is particularly essential for the sedentary and middle-aged. As soon as your eyes open, while you are still contemplating facing the day, begin your exercise.
1. Extend one leg downward so that it becomes longer than the other (you must feel it in the calves, ankles, and toes). Do the same with the other leg. Alternate legs, four or five times on each.
2. Now stretch one arm outward until it feels longer than the other; stretch it as far as it will go, until you feel the tension at the shoulders, wrist, fingers. Next stretch the arm upward. Follow the same procedure with the other arm. Alternate arms four or five times.
3. Stretch your neck, moving it from side to side as far as it will go; then arch your back to its utmost. Relax. Do this exercise until you feel you’ve had enough.
4. Get out of bed. Before running to the bathroom or jumping into your clothes, clothes, stretch-stretch any part of the body you feel so inclined. Do not hurry. Your body, now relaxed, might just possibly help relax your mind as well.

Adequate Test for Hearing loss
An otologist can test for hearing loss with an audiometer, which can be increased decibel by decibel. A 20-decibel loss means you have difficulty hearing in theater. A 30-decibel loss means you cannot hear well in a living room and you are in need of a hearing aid. A 50-decibel loss indicates you cannot hear well even on the telephone.
Self-test: Answer yes or no to the following questions:
1. Do you hear better on the telephone than in normal room conversation?
2. Do you often misunderstand what is being said on television?
3. Do you frequently find it necessary to cock your ear with your hand to hear well?
4. Do you often give listening to someone because he is difficult to hear?
5. Do you misunderstand what people are saying?
6. When you place a ticking watch at the ear opening and then on the bone behind the ear, do you hear better on the bone?
If any of the above questions are answered yes, you are suffering from some hearing loss and should consult an otologist.
