Hello Everyone,
In today's life, we don't get enough time to focus on the most important part of ourselves, i.e. our health. Most of the people in our country as well as across the world consider medical checkups waste of money and the go for it only when they get ill. In this article of mine, I would like to let you all know about one of the serious health issue that if not cared properly may cause serious problems and in some cases it may lead to loss of life.
WHAT IS STROKE?
 |
| Clotting of Blood Inside Brain |
Brain is a part of our body that is not only very complex but also extremely sensitive, it is made up of millions of nerves. When, unfortunately, any nerve that carry blood to our brain gets block, burst or rapture, in such condition, the affected part of brain becomes less functionary and as a result of which the body part that is run by brain does not function properly.
WHY TO WORRY?
The question that comes to our mind after reading about stroke is that why to worry about Stroke?
Dear readers, It is the fifth largest reason of death. If not taken proper care and timely medications, it may lead to permanent damage of that particular part of brain followed by body part which is controlled by that affected one.
SYMPTOMS OF STROKE
Symptoms vary from person to person and intensity of stroke. General symptoms include loss of balance in body, blurred vision, drooping in one side of the face, difficulty in speaking etc.
If you or anyone feels any of the symptoms, contact to a good physician as soon as possible.
TREATMENT
Early treatment saves most of the damage to the brain, timing is the most important part in stroke attacks. Patient should be taken to hospital as soon as possible just after he notices any of the above mentioned symptoms.
Primarily Stroke is diagnosed by the MRI or CT scan of head, if found positive report, your Dr. can go for further checkups such as Blood test (to diagnose the reason for stroke), ECG (to check the functioning of heart) and carotid ultrasound (to check the blood flow from heart to brain).
Early medication is as important as the diagnosis of this medical emergency, as I have stated earlier that timing after the attack plays very vital role in recovery and saving a life.
Thanks
