Jakarta –
Signs of a mild stroke may often go unnoticed. This mild stroke is also known as a mini stroke or transient ischemic attack, which is caused by a temporary blood clot.
Quoted from the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the main cause of mild strokes is blockage of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. This blockage is caused by plaque or air clots in the arteries, causing brain function to be disrupted and triggering signs of a mild stroke.
Generally, the signs of a mild stroke are almost the same as a stroke. The difference is, a mild stroke only lasts for a few minutes and the signs of a mild stroke will disappear by themselves in a matter of hours, which may often go unnoticed.
For example, a person may have difficulty speaking or moving for several minutes before function returns to normal. However, if someone experiences this condition, it must be treated immediately. Because, this condition is considered a serious warning that a total stroke may occur.
The best way to spot signs of stroke is with the FAST test. This test includes several indicators, namely:
- Face, one side of the face droops and makes it difficult for sufferers to smile and move their eyelids
- Arms, arms are weak or paralyzed
- Speech, slurred or unclear speech
- Time, immediately contact medical personnel so that treatment can be carried out immediately
