Stroke often seems to come without any warning, leaving a person either dead or severely paralyzed. Most people never get over it, even if they get through it.

But new research from Holland provides one clear indicator that you’re on the brink of suffering a stroke. Keep an eye out for this one and you may be able to take appropriate actions in time.

Scientists at Erasmus University in Rotterdam recently looked at a new way of determining a person’s risk of suffering a stroke.

It has long been known that people who suffer stroke frequently suffer, as a result, problems with memory and concentration issues.

The researchers wanted to see if there was a link going the other direction- in other words, does memory loss indicate a person’s likelihood to suffer a stroke?

In the study, the researchers looked at over 9,000 men and women for several years. During the course of the study, over 1,100 suffered a stroke.

What the researchers discovered was surprising.

Yes, they anticipated rightly that indeed, suffering memory loss and developing confusion was a reliable indicator that a stroke was either imminent or had occurred but was not yet diagnosed.

So if you begin to notice that you’re forgetting things (or your spouse points it out), don’t ignore it. Now is the time to take immediate action to improve your overall cardiovascular health to bring you back from the brink of a stroke.

But the researchers also found a surprising link between stroke and education. In the subjects’ histories, researchers looked at the education level of all of the participants. What they found was that for some reason, participants with a higher level of education were at 39% increased likelihood of suffering a stroke.

While the scientists were quick to point out that there is no way to determine a cause-effect relationship with higher education and risk of stroke, they did note it as a curiosity that merits further study.

So what should you do to prevent stroke?

#1 – Most importantly, Lower your blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number one cause of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases.
