Signs Of A Stroke You Might Be Ignoring

It's the fifth leading cause of death in the country, but many aren't aware of the telltale signs.

When you're having a stroke, you may not realize it right away. Many times people ignore the signs...which is very dangerous, because when it's happening, every second counts. In each minute of a stroke, your brain is losing 1.9 million cells. Which is why it's so important to seek medical help as soon as possible.

You may even think your blurred speech is a result of the medication you're on. These are just a few of the signs that are ignored too often during a stroke.
