Guide To Common Aortic Dissection Symptoms

Difficulty Speaking

An aortic dissection may cause the patient to experience difficulty speaking without warning. The patient's speech may be slurred, and they could be unable to form words. One of the corners of their mouth could droop, and the patient might seem disoriented and confused. Swallowing difficulties have also been reported in patients with an aortic dissection. Speaking difficulties may occur in conjunction with temporary vision loss. Family members or bystanders can ask the patient to repeat a simple sentence and note whether the response is clear or muddled. This should help them evaluate speech difficulties.

Temporary speech difficulties during a medical emergency may make it impossible for the patient to communicate with paramedics and hospital staff. If possible, a family member familiar with the patient's health history should travel to the hospital to be with the patient and provide doctors with crucial information about the patient's conditions and current medications.
