4. Chest pain

This type of pain has a wide range of causes. From heart-related medical reasons to mental ones, chest pain is associated with numerous conditions (CLICK HERE to discover the vast majority of them). Indeed, some are pretty minor, such as the type of chest pain caused by indigestion, but others can signal a heart attack.

Heart attacks strike rapidly and most of them start with discomfort felt in the chest, as highlighted by The American Heart Association. No matter the root cause of your chest pain, do not ignore it. If you act immediately, a simple phone call could save your life.

5. Hiccups

Sometimes hiccups are funny, but clearly not for the person who experiences them. Hiccups are basically contractions of the diaphragm, and in some cases, they could be symptoms of a stroke. According to cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, MD, hiccups that signal a stroke are often experienced by women.

The signs and symptoms of a stroke in women are more subtle in males; however, don’t panic if you experience hiccups alone. It should concern you when they are accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, facial pain, and feelings of general weakness.

6. Persistent headaches

Did you know that more than 40 million American adults live with migraine disease or a form of headache disorder? If you’re not one of them, you know for sure at least one friend or relative who deals with constant headaches. In fact, headache is actually the most common type of pain.

Unfortunately, people tend to ignore it, saying that a pain reliever will do the trick eventually, and in most cases, it does, but what happens when you simply can not get rid of your headaches? Always striking when you least expect them… 

Well, go to your doctor! Headaches could mean so much more than hours spent in front of your computer. They are also symptoms of a stroke. According to recent research, persistent headaches, especially if accompanied by nausea, visual changes, and vomiting, could signal an impending stroke.
