The Forgotten Stroke Symptoms: Leg Weakness and Eyes Blurred

When there is a stroke, symptoms of the most recognizable people are the face of Perot, the arm is moved or spoke difficult. Though there are other symptoms that are often forgotten, namely sudden leg weakness and blurred vision.

The existence of two symptoms of this forgotten to make the victims of a stroke are sometimes delayed getting help. The people around him did not recognize it as a stroke, then waited until her face Perot difficulty speaking.

Prof Ross Naylor, a researcher from Leicester Royal Infirmary revealed that almost all people are able to recognize three common symptoms that accompany a stroke. All three are the hard-driven arm (arm weakness), Perot face (facial weakness) and hard to talk.

But when dealing with 2 other symptoms of many forgotten, not everyone recognizes it as a symptom of stroke. Leg weakness (leg weakness) as the only known symptom of stroke by 57 per cent of respondents and blurry eyes are only known by 44 per cent of respondents.

This data was obtained in a recent survey in Britain involving no less than 1,300 respondents of all ages. The study, funded by East Midlands Strategic Health Authority was conducted over two years, in order to increase awareness of the dangers of stroke.

"It's important for everyone to know all five symptoms of stroke. They do not need to wait for all five of them came at once to seek help," said Professor Naylor is quoted from Buxtonadvertiser, Wednesday (07/12/2011).

As ever reported detikHealth, triggering a stroke is very diverse so it can not resolve themselves without medical help. Stroke induced by blockage of blood vessels in the brain should get blood-thinning medication within 3 hours since the attack.

Signs of People Should Wear Glasses

Eyes play an important role in human life because 83 percent of the information obtained from a person's eyes every day. But with age or bad behavior on the eyes sometimes make the ability to see so declined. To help eyesight, glasses so his choice.

Glasses are needed to help a person to be able to see clearer and brighter. But when a person knows that he needs glasses to see the surroundings?

The most common vision problems that indicate people have to wear glasses as quoted are:

1. Difficult to see objects better with one eye or both eyes
2. Should squint to see objects at a reasonable distance that should be seen by normal eyes
3. Often complain of blurred vision or ghosting when viewing the object at close range or far
4. Often complain of headache, redness of the eye or eye fatigue, especially after reading
5. Requires visibility close to the object to be seen more clearly
6. Roads are often stumble, fall and likes to hit-hit because they can not see the object of focus.


If you see any signs or symptoms should consult a physician to be given prescription glasses that fit with eye conditions. Because if the size of the minus, plus or silindris not correct, then one can not clearly see the object he saw.

After review to the doctor usually will be detected if his eyes away hair, or hair near the cylinder. Categories for this are:

1. Nearsightedness (Myopia)
This condition occurs when a person can not see objects within a certain distance or far away, so he must get closer to the object to make it look obvious. People with farsightedness will be assisted with minus glasses.

2. Farsightedness (Presbyopia)
Eye disorder that makes a person unable to see objects or read at close range, so he will keep the object to be seen clearly. This condition usually occurs in older people and begins when the 40s years of age. People with farsightedness will be helped with glasses a plus.

3. Cylinders (Astigmatism)
This condition occurs when the lens of the eye or cornea not symmetrical (oval shaped) so that light entering the eye does not meet in one point of the retina. This is usually aided by using a cylindrical lens glasses.
