Rinat Bogdanov, a neurologist at the Moscow Provincial Health Ministry, noted in an interview with the AiF that stroke often manifests itself in the form of movement and speech disorders. However, other symptoms are also possible.
According to what was reported by “Sputnik”, the doctor explained that stroke patients are surprised when they realize that they cannot control their leg or arm, and that they cannot speak. According to Bogdanov, one of the features that a part of the brain has stopped functioning is that all of these symptoms appear suddenly or upon awakening, and all of them practically do not change over time.
However, Al-Tayeb pointed out that with a stroke, the sensitivity of a person’s skin may change and vision may be affected suddenly. In addition, dizziness and unsteadiness may occur, which you feel constantly and do not change with a change in body position, memory problems are also possible.
The neurologist noted that transient ischemic attacks, when signs of a stroke occur quickly enough, deserve special attention. However, this does not mean that the problems of blood flow to the brain have ended, the person should see a doctor immediately.
He pointed out that with stroke, the “treatment window” for the time in which helping doctors is most effective, is 4.5 hours. During this time period, part of the brain can be saved from death.
However, if the signs of a stroke appear so weakly that both the person himself and the people around him believed that everything had passed or that nothing had happened, then you need to do a simple test: Ask the person to smile (a crooked smile is a sign of a stroke Stroke), as well as lifting or pulling his arms in front of him, a person with a stroke will be able to do this with only one hand. In addition, a person must repeat a simple phrase – at a stroke, speech will be slow, the person will not be able to remember the words, you can also ask him to take out his tongue, if he is twisted or descended down, then the person has a stroke.
