Stroke, or cerebrovascular accident, is one of the most feared health pathologies. Indeed, the signs are not always recognizable and without rapid treatment, the patient generally has serious after-effects or may even die.
During a stroke, the brain is temporarily no longer irrigated and is therefore deprived of oxygen with the risks that we know about. This may be due to a clot blocking circulation or a ruptured blood vessel. The first is the most common, with almost 80% of cases, for 20% of hemorrhagic situations.
To do this, prevention and awareness are absolutely essential.
Here are some symptoms to recognize.
When a person feels numb on one side of their body, has a smile that only touches half of their mouth, or cannot raise both hands, it is cause for concern.
Difficulty breathing can accompany a stroke.
A person who faints should also be seen quickly by a doctor.
Sight can also be affected: blurry, cloudy, asymmetrical…
Just like speech, via speech difficulties.
