A member asked:
Can a person have a stroke and not realize she had one until later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Small lacunar infarcts are not rare and may be relatively silent. But these mount up and can create an insidious progressive cognitive loss. Often associated with hypertension, but need to pay attention to all risk factors.
