If you’re young and it’s too early to worry about a stroke, then get ready to convey this information to your parents, grandmothers and grandfathers, because, knowing these simple rules, you can completely avoid a stroke. However, such knowledge will never hurt anyone.
The danger of this insidious “strike”, which at best makes a person disabled, and at worst leads to death (although you don’t understand what’s better!), lies in its suddenness. how experts say eighty percent of ischemic strokes could be easily prevented if people turned in time for medical help.
There are certain pre-stroke conditions, for example, there is a feeling that you were “led”, often dizzy, disturbed balance and coordination of movements. But most often a person doesn’t notice anything or just brushes it off – tired, probably.
In Japan, neurologists came up with a simple test for the elderly, which has already been tested on hundreds of volunteers. The result is simple. awesome! To determine if you have abnormalities in the vessels brain (and this leads to a stroke), you need to use simple children’s fun – a heron, or standing on one leg. If you or your elderly parents cannot stand a heron a minute or more, going to the clinic to a neurologist is extremely necessary.
Russian neurologists have their own, time-tested, tests. True, they are more suitable for cases when with a person a microstroke has already happened, but he does not understand this. Ask for this person smile, talk and raise hands up. Smile not should be curved (asymmetrical), speech – slurred, and hands – do not rise synchronously. If even one sign is detected out of three abnormalities – immediately call an ambulance.
