For people over the age of 60 especially those with high blood pressure are at risk for a "silent stroke" and may not even know it. Studies have shown that people with high blood pressure have a 60% greater chance of having the stroke than those with normal blood pressure. They are normally without symptoms but are a major health problem for the elderly and can be at risk for subsequent strokes and accelerated loss of mental skills. Common signs are sudden weakness or numbness in the arms, face or legs, blurred vision, sudden confusion or trouble speaking and sudden severe headache with no known cause.
