The so-called "silent" stroke can manifest itself with a number of symptoms, Doctor of Medical Sciences Oksana Drapkina said.

According to "Doctor Peter", a silent stroke is usually accompanied by sudden dizziness, impaired walking and sudden visual impairment. Loss of sensation in the extremities, speech dysfunction, and facial asymmetry may also indicate a microcirculatory hemorrhage in the brain.

According to the specialist, a silent stroke can run easily, but it is still very dangerous, because it is a precursor to a classic stroke.

People with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and heart rhythm disorders are at risk of developing a silent stroke, and they are advised to be especially careful.
