Can you have stroke symptoms for days?

Question

For the past few days, I've been feeling a bit dizzy, and sometimes my left arm feels weak, but it comes and goes. Can stroke symptoms last for days, or do they happen all at once?

Nikhil Kamath · Accepted Answer

From what I have been reading online, stroke-like symptoms should never be ignored, even if they seem to linger for days or come and go. It could be a sign of a mini-stroke or another serious neurological issue. It is really important to seek medical help immediately.

I am so tired I can barely see straight, but even I know that lingering stroke symptoms are a massive red flag. If anyone is experiencing weakness or numbness for days, please stop reading online comments and head straight to an emergency room right now.

I always believe in home remedies for simple things, but for anything like weakness, numbness, or slurred speech, no remedy will work. This is a very serious matter that can lead to permanent damage if neglected. Please take the person to a big hospital immediately without any delay.

While gentle breathing and a calm mind help in general wellness, neurological symptoms like sudden numbness or difficulty speaking require urgent medical intervention. Please do not try to manage this at home. Go to a hospital immediately to get evaluated by a neurologist.

Please, I beg you, do not ignore this for even another hour. I once ignored mild numbness in my arm thinking it was just a pinched nerve, and it turned out to be a major medical emergency that could have been prevented. Get to a hospital emergency room immediately.
