Neurologist lists pre-stroke symptoms for Russians
Stroke is a dangerous condition that frightens many people because of the prospect of permanent disability.
There are symptoms that indicate a pre-stroke condition, and they should not be ignored.
As neurologist Maria Bekher told aif.ru , it is best to pay attention to warning signs that indicate the risk of stroke.
As the specialist noted, there are two types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. In the first case, the brain vessels are blocked, in the second, the vessels rupture.
Dangerous harbingers of stroke
The first factor indicating a possible stroke is high blood pressure. Therefore, it is important to monitor and control its value.
The second factor is excess weight and sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, for those who spend a lot of time at home and in the office, it is useful to increase physical activity.
The third factor is the presence of heart pathologies and chronic diseases.
Symptoms that should not be ignored include:
- short-term numbness or sudden weakness in a leg or arm;
- violation of facial symmetry;
- speech problems.
Even if these symptoms disappear immediately after they appear, you should never ignore them. This means that this time your body coped on its own, but next time you may not be so lucky.
