Recognize Stroke Symptoms
I had a severe headache for 2 days that no amount of Tylenol could stop. After seeing swirling images like little bugs around my peripheral vision, I passed out. My wife found me on the floor after returning from work. She managed to get me into our vehicle and to the hospital emergency room, where doctors quickly recognized my stroke symptoms and immediately began giving me a blood thinner and inserted a probe/camera into my groin area blood vain to determine if a clot existed. It did. About 1/4" into my brain, where it starved that portion and caused a permanent partial loss of sight.
Morale of the story…Headaches that won't stop combined with blurred vision is your body telling you to seek help immediately
