Common stroke symptoms

  • Sudden paralysis or numbness in face, arm, or leg: Often on one side of the body. The person may have difficulty smiling or lifting both arms at the same time.
  • Sudden speech or language difficulties: Difficulty speaking, understanding speech, or finding the right words.
  • Sudden vision loss or disturbances: Can affect one or both eyes, such as double vision or loss of vision in one eye.
  • Sudden severe headache: An intense and unusual headache without a known cause, sometimes accompanied by vomiting or loss of consciousness.
  • Sudden dizziness, unsteadiness, or coordination problems: Difficulty walking, maintaining balance, or coordinating movements, which can lead to falls.

Less common symptoms

  • Confusion or memory problems: Difficulty thinking clearly, memory loss, or disorientation.
  • Swallowing difficulties: Problems swallowing food or liquids.
  • Sudden nausea or vomiting: Can sometimes occur along with other symptoms.

When and where to seek medical help

If you or someone around you experiences stroke symptoms, it is crucial to act quickly. Every minute counts to minimize brain damage and improve recovery chances.

  • Call 112 immediately: At the first sign of a stroke.
  • Use the acronym FAST:
    • Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
    • Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
    • Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Is the speech slurred or strange?
    • Time: Don't hesitate. The faster treatment is given, the better the prognosis.
Preparation for medical visit
  • Document symptom onset: Note when the first symptoms appeared.
  • Medical history: Bring a list of current medications and any relevant medical history.
  • Relative or friend: Bring someone who can help describe what happened and provide support.

Stroke symptoms can develop quickly and vary in severity. Quick identification and treatment are crucial to reducing brain damage and improving recovery chances.

Questions and answers

It is a quick diagnostic tool: Ansikte (Face - does one side droop?), Kroppsdel (Body - can they lift both arms?), Uttal (Speech - is it slurred?), Tid (Time - call emergency services immediately).

Common signs include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg (usually on one side), confusion, trouble speaking, and sudden vision impairment.

Not always. Some strokes manifest as a sudden, "thunderclap" headache, loss of balance, or severe dizziness without obvious muscle weakness.

Biological age

This health check includes an analysis of your biological age. Biological age is a measure of how your body ages at the cellular level compared to your chronological age. Comparing your blood counts with advanced algorithms will give you a deeper insight into your overall health status and how your lifestyle affects your biological aging. Based on the PhenoAge method. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5940111/

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.
