This week in the NY times health/science section article "Garbled texting as a sign of stroke" reveals 1st stroke symptoms through incoherent messages-- When the texter was asked if the text made sense they responded--yes or could not remember the text.
Doctors are now naming texting slur dystextia, which is similar to speech slur that strokes causes.
Many times people do not feel or know when they had a mild stroke-- that later can impair them. Sometimes, not knowing when a stroke began can put patients and doctors in a decision dilemma- to treat it {stroke} as an acute or chronic illness. Many times small mild stroke can occurs one after the other---until a big one comes.
The sooner a stroke can be detected the better the prognosis when treated properly.
Keep aware of your texts messages---you never know when someone may be having a mild stroke----
