While the article mentions a severe headache, a stroke can also present with sudden, unexplained nausea or vomiting on its own. These symptoms can be particularly confusing because they are often associated with less severe conditions like the flu or food poisoning. However, if nausea or vomiting appears suddenly and without any clear cause, it could be a sign that a stroke is affecting the brain's balance and digestive centers. Do not ignore this symptom, especially if it is accompanied by any other stroke-related signs.

This is one of the most surprising and often dismissed symptoms of a stroke, especially for women. Recent research has shown that persistent hiccups, especially when combined with other subtle stroke symptoms, can be an indicator of a stroke. While occasional hiccups are normal, a sudden, strong, and persistent case of hiccups that lasts for more than a few minutes should not be ignored. This is a subtle and often overlooked signal from the brain, and recognizing it could lead to faster medical intervention.
