When I was younger in my mid teens up to 2 years ago, I used to occasionally experience such symptoms. Particularly, blurry vision (or feeling as if I looked into a bright light for too long, followed by confusion and slurred speech and after that, numbness starting from one of my hands and would gradually move up until my tongue. After that, I would get an enormous headache on the opposite side of my head to which the numbness originated and it would last for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
I used to try and explain these episodes to my parents but no one ever paid close attention to what I was saying. they thought it was bizarre and that I was seeking attention.
These were the most excruciating episodes in my life and I haven't experienced one in 2 years now. I can tell you it is scary. Especially now that I know exactly what it was that was happening to me.

This happened to my dad, but we live in a poor country with poor health care system. We were able to bring him immediately to the nearest public/general hospital, because that's only what we can afford. We waited for 18 hours in the emergency room before he was given the proper care. He was only given an IV in those hours. His speech is permanently damaged.
Wish there's something we could have done otherwise.

Back in 2012 my father got stroke and lost the control of his right part of his body and ability to speak. He never recovered it and eventually died this this year.
When this stroke was happened weren't aware about this. I wish this video was before happening all of this.
BTW, I really thank you for this kind of video. I think everyone should have have basic knowledge about this sort of things.

I wish I watched this video sooner. My father was rushed to the hospital after few minutes he couldn't move his right body side. But he still can't speak now. Luckily it's ischemic not the bleeding one.
