Symptoms of cerebral stroke should everyone know!

Stroke is a circulatory disorder in the brain. By its nature, stroke can be divided into ischemic and hemorrhagic. In order to help the victim in time, it is important to know the symptoms of stroke of the brain and be able to provide the necessary assistance at their first manifestations.

Hemorrhagic stroke of the brain is, most often, the consequence of hypertension. With a hemorrhagic stroke in the brain, a blood vessel bursts, the blood from which enters the brain and squeezes it. The vessel can also burst with an aneurysm, when a thin, bulging place is formed in it, which does not withstand pressure. Then there is cerebral edema, and the affected area is necrotic.

In addition to the above reasons, hemorrhage may be due to the weakness of the walls of the vessels from the effect of a stably high pressure. The walls become loosely, porous, and from this time the blood flows outward.

With ischemic stroke, the cause lies in the presence of atherosclerotic plaque, which closes the blood vessel for free blood flow. This mechanism works also in the presence of clots - then there is a thrombosis of the vessels. As a result, the clogged site does not receive any food or oxygen. As a result, asphyxia and necrosis of brain tissue occur. And despite the fact that the vessel does not lose its integrity, its functions to ensure the viability of brain areas are reduced to zero. The factors that contribute to vasospasms and their further blockage are permanent stresses that overfill the life of a modern person, fatigue at work, bad habits (alcohol, tobacco smoking, drug use), metabolic disorders and as a result - excess weight, fluctuation of the indicator Sugar in the blood, bad ecology.

Symptoms of cerebral stroke are difficult to recognize immediately. The processes that occur in the brain are reflected lightly on the behavior of a person and his state of health. But sometimes, with a slight stroke, people do not attach importance to this, writing off the disease for headaches or overwork.

To correctly diagnose the disease, you need to know the symptoms of cerebral stroke. So, the first thing that manifests itself in a stroke is a complicated coordination in the movements or even numbness of some parts of the body. At the same time, often people can not talk about their condition in a coherent way - they have a broken speech, they can confuse words, change their places involuntarily, making speech incomprehensible to others, making obscure sounds. Visual perception also suffers - the victims see "flies before their eyes," the splitting of objects. Severe cases are accompanied by vomiting and nausea. With hemorrhagic stroke, patients complain of a red shroud before their eyes. Usually these symptoms are most visible on one half of the body.

If others noticed such symptoms of cerebral stroke, it is important immediately to call an ambulance. Further treatment of cerebral stroke is performed after hospitalization in a medical institution. For such patients, a broad rehabilitation program is envisaged, since removing from a critical condition is only half the case. The rest has to be done in terms of returning the stroke to a normal life.

Usually, if there is a predisposition to a stroke (this is determined on the basis of screenings), it is important to operate the affected area. For example, if an aortic aneurysm is identified, it is better not to wait until it ruptures, but immediately remove the affected area of the vessel.

In any case, the risk of stroke increases to the middle and old age, so it is necessary to limit the impact of negative factors, more to be on the air, exercise, eat healthy foods.
