While autocorrect might have your mom sending bizarre texts that you never wanted to know about her sex life, there's a more serious issue to think about when you get a weird text. Dystextia. If you get a random text that doesn't make a bit of sense, it may be a sign that the sender has suffered a stroke. Keep reading for details.

From Inquisitr:

Neurologist Dr. Joshua Klein explained:

“The word dystextia has been used before in the medical literature to describe someone having a migraine headache who is having trouble coordinating fingers to make appropriate texts. Since so much communication is shifting from verbal to electronic communication, I think it’s important to take note if a loved one starts sending text messages that don’t make sense. It could be a sign of a stroke or of other brain problem affecting language areas of the brain.”

 

a Boston man started taking note of the bizarre texts he began received from his pregnant wife. The problem became a bit more alarming when he realized the autocorrect feature had been disabled on her phone. All of the strange messages were coming directly from his spouse’s fingertips.

When he took his wife to the emergency room, doctors discovered the woman was suffering from severe disorientation. The mother-to-be was also having trouble speaking and moving her arms. All of these symptoms are considered to be signs of a stroke.

Don't freak out every time you get an autocorrected mess up from your grandmaw, but if it doesn't make a lick of sense, and it continues, then you may want to be weary.
