According to the data of doctors, more and more young people aged 20 to 40 have been recorded recently who are prone to stroke. The life-threatening condition often provokes both atherosclerosis and heart disease. Another reason is blood clotting disorder. It is on identifying this reason that young people should be emphasized.
About this in an interview KP.Ru said the neurologist, head of the Department of Neurology for patients with cerebrovascular accidents at the Pirogov Center, Astanda Mushba.
The doctor believes that it is dangerous to delay contacting specialists if a person, regardless of age, has constant and intense headaches, dizziness and instability when walking.
“It is not necessarily related to a stroke, but there may be a neurological cause for such symptoms,” Astanda Mushba said.
The specialist recommended making an appointment with a neurologist for timely protection against stroke, at least once a year to undergo examinations of the vessels of the neck, ultrasound of the heart, to do daily ECG monitoring using the Holter method, and to evaluate the lipid spectrum of blood.
