Is a headache sign of minor stroke?

While headaches can sometimes be a symptom of a stroke, especially if sudden and severe, it's important to note that not all headaches are a sign of stroke. A minor stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), can cause a variety of symptoms, including: - Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body - Difficulty speaking or understanding speech - Vision problems in one or both eyes - Dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination problems If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. Headache alone is not a reliable indicator of a minor stroke. Other, more common causes of headaches include: - Tension headaches - Migraines - Sinus infections - Caffeine withdrawal - Dehydration If you have a headache that is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other neurological symptoms, it's always a good idea to see a doctor for evaluation.
