What Are The Symptoms Of An Ischemic Stroke?

Confusion Or Trouble Speaking

An individual having an ischemic stroke may begin to have problems with communication. They may speak with sentences that do not make any logical sense, speak in incomplete sentences, use one word in the place of another, speak words that do not exist, be unable to understand the conversation between others, and may not be able to write words or sentences that make logical sense. Most individuals have the components that control their ability to understand language and speak in the left side of their brain. This location may be reversed in left-handed individuals. A stroke that affects this part of the brain can cause the patient to be unable to understand and put together words. Another mechanism through which a stroke can cause a patient to have problems speaking is when they cannot coordinate the movement of their mouth to make sounds or words. General confusion often manifests with speech problems in patients having an ischemic stroke.
