Acute circulatory disorders or cerebral infarction, better known as stroke, is the fifth leading cause of death in the modern world. But, if the time to seek medical help, the consequences of such violation can be minimized. It is true that people in this state rarely go alone to the doctors because the symptoms of the coming of stroke are often mistaken for signs of absolutely other pathologies.
Remember:had a stroke (and ischemic and hemorrhagic) continually kills up to 2 million brain cells, and each hour without treatment robs the patient of 3.5 years of life! Therefore, on its own "non-standard" state should pay most attention to as soon as possible to get help.
Cheerleaders must:
1. Sudden loss of vision. You should contact your doctor immediately if you suddenly started to eye problems: double vision, blurred, hazy veil. Someone thinks that this may be caused by fatigue or stress. However, most often it is - a sign of an impending stroke.
2. Numbness in the hands and / or feet. Waking up, some find that the "lie down" arm or leg. This is possible, but if the numbness and unpleasant tingling persist for a long time (in minutes), but on the contrary, increase, it is necessary to address urgently to the doctor.
3. Make slurred speech. Often, speech disturbances people blamed on long-term use of some drugs (as a side effect). On the very same case - this is one of the most striking signs of a stroke. And when he appeared, immediately call the ambulance.
4. Unsteady gait. And yet - staggering. It sure signs of cerebral circulation. A lot of people think: the condition is caused by, for example, use a small amount of alcohol, and do nothing when you should call an ambulance immediately.
5. Confusion. This condition is characteristic of the onset of stroke. The patient can not concentrate, forget just talked about. People try to justify itself by fatigue, overwork. In fact, there is cerebral infarction, and the need to try to prevent it, or at least, minimize the impact.
6. Strong headache. It rarely anyone pays attention. Take a pill and try to sleep. In most cases, it all goes away, but when the pain only increases and becomes unbearable, it is necessary to call a doctor. Especially if there were not noticed for a propensity for migraines.
