Thousands of people in Togo suffer strokes every year. The observations of a London clinic, Cardiac Care, on patients who have suffered a stroke, can all help to avoid them. Six signs appear one week before the stroke in 43% of the patients monitored: headache, balance problems, language problems, alertness problems, difficulty in expressing oneself, visual field problems, muscle weakness or numbness in one or more limbs. Be careful to take these signs seriously. Some people will experience symptoms several days before they suffer a stroke.
