How To Treat And Prevent A Stroke

A stroke is a severe, dangerous medical condition that takes place when the blood supplied to the brain is stopped.
Strokes are a medical crisis and vital treatment is necessary because the sooner a casualty gets treatment for a stroke, the less harm is likely to occur.
If you notice that you or somebody else is suffering from a stroke, call the EMS straightaway and request an ambulance.

The key symptoms of stroke can be recalled with the acronym FAST: Face-Arms-Speech-Time.

Face – the face might have fallen on one side, the casualty might not be able to talk or their mouth or eye might have dropped.
Arms – the casualty with an assumed stroke might not be able to move the arms due to weakness or lack of feeling in the arms.
Speech – their speech might be inaudible or distorted, or the casualty might not be able to talk at all although they appear to be awake.
Time – it is time to phone the EMS straight away if you see any of these symptoms.

Treatment is subject to the type of stroke you experienced, including which section of the brain sustained damaged.
In most instances, strokes are treated with pills. This usually includes medications to stop and eliminate blood clots, decrease blood pressure and decrease cholesterol levels.
In some circumstances, surgery might be necessary to treat brain inflammation and decrease the risk of additional bleeding in instances of haemorrhagic strokes.

You can considerably decrease your possibility of having a stroke through a healthy routine, such as eating a nutritional diet, doing consistent exercises, drinking alcohol with restraint and trying not to smoke.
Reducing cholesterol levels and high blood pressure with pills also decreases the possibility of stroke considerably.
