7. Dizziness

A person experiencing a stroke may feel lightheaded, faint, or like the room is spinning. This symptom is due to either severe supply issues in the brain or bleeding in the brain caused by a burst blood vessel.

When someone is having a stroke and experiencing dizziness, you may notice unsteady movements or difficulty holding their head up.

8. Vision Changes

A person may have blurred vision or difficulty with eyesight in one or both eyes. If the right occipital lobe is damaged during a stroke, the patient may temporarily lose sight on the left side of the visual field.

When your loved one is experiencing vision problems, they may be unable to read and may also squint or rub their eyes often.
