Tag Archives: stroke symptoms

Since I surprised my doctor by passing my heart CT scan with the second lowest score possible, I have contrarily paid attention to stroke symptoms. Because he said the cholesterol was high and therefore it must be affecting some blood vessels somewhere in the body, possibly those in the neck leading to the brain. Anyway, however you feel about cholesterol, these stroke symptoms, conveniently summed up in the acronym STR, are good to know, especially if, like me, you’re over sixty with friends who are also.
