A month before my stroke, my body began to warn me. These were the first symptoms.

During a conversation, I found myself repeating the same sentence several times. Then, in the supermarket, I asked again for something I’d already received. It was as if part of my brain momentarily shut down.

Unstable Blood Pressure

Normally very stable, my blood pressure began to fluctuate. Very low one day, abnormally high the next. An imbalance that caught my attention, but I didn’t immediately take it seriously.

Fortunately, I finally reacted.

I consulted a doctor. After tests (CT scan, angiography, vascular analysis), the diagnosis was made: I had suffered a microstroke. My brain was already suffering—silently. I immediately began treatment, changed my lifestyle, and began exercising regularly.
