While most have heard of stroke in adults, strokes can happen at any age. Pediatric strokes can happen in infants, children, teens and even before birth. The two age ranges when referring to pediatric stroke are perinatal and childhood.

Warning signs are often missed in children because there is a lack of awareness that strokes can happen in this age group.

Warning signs in children can include:
Severe sudden headache, especially with vomiting and sleepiness
Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body (face, arm and/or leg)
Sudden confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding others
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
New onset of seizures, usually on one side of the body

Recognize the symptoms. BE.FAST.
Prompt action and medical treatment can maximize outcomes. Remember that stroke is a potential risk for everyone.

Nakakaranas ka ba nang panginginig, madalas na pagdumi, at pagbaba ng timbang kahit maganang kumain?

Maaaring senyales ito ng hyperthyroidism.

Huwag itong balewalain, pakinggan ang katawan at magpakonsulta sa doktor para maagapan.
