Silent Stroke Warning Signs After 60 — And Why They’re Often Missed

Описание: Silent strokes are small, hidden strokes that often occur without obvious symptoms, especially in adults over 60. Many people never realise they’ve had one — until memory loss, balance problems, confusion, or personality changes appear years later.

In this video, you’ll learn the most common silent stroke warning signs after 60, including subtle symptoms that are often dismissed as aging, stress, or fatigue. These include sudden balance changes, brief vision disturbances, trouble finding words, mood shifts, numbness or tingling on one side, and short episodes of confusion or brain fog.

Medical research shows that up to 1 in 4 adults over 60 already has evidence of silent strokes on MRI scans, even without a diagnosed stroke. These silent brain injuries are now recognised as a major contributor to cognitive decline, early dementia, falls, and loss of independence in older adults.

This video explains:
• what a silent stroke is
• how silent strokes differ from major strokes and TIAs
• early silent stroke symptoms most people miss
• how silent strokes are diagnosed (MRI, blood pressure, clot risk)
• what doctors recommend if you notice warning signs

This content is based on neurological research and guidance from major medical institutions. It is educational only and does not replace medical advice from your doctor.

If you or a loved one is over 60, understanding these silent stroke symptoms could protect long-term brain health.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

If you experience sudden confusion, balance problems, vision changes, weakness, numbness, or trouble speaking — seek urgent medical care immediately.
