10 Stroke Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Hiccups
Hiccups are often seen as something humorous, with young children in particular finding them amusing. They can be quite unpleasant, though. They can go on for too long and they can also be painful. In some cases, they can also be a sign of a stroke.
Hiccups occur most often in women after a stroke, although they can occur in men as well. They are also often associated with chest pain and this will sometimes make the patient realize something is wrong. It can be easy to overlook them, especially if you don’t know the signs, but ignoring them can turn out to be a catastrophic decision.
