Hello dear readers welcome to a new blog. Our lifestyle has made it necessary for us to know about the symptoms of several severe diseases. Now seeing the data, it is quite clear that age is not a big factor for diseases. There should be awareness about the causes and symptoms so prevention can be taken in advance afterall it is well said prevention is better than cure. As you have read the title, I am going to share about the symptoms of stroke.
According to a report by the lancet global health, there were 6.99 people who died because of stroke in 2019. This number is only from India. Stroke occurs when the blood supply is cut off to an area of the brain. Symptoms may vary depending upon the area which is affected. The major causes considered for this are high blood pressure, smoking, heart related issues, diabetes, obesity etc. There are some symptoms which can help in the diagnosis of stroke. There is a formula invented for such signs and symptoms and it is known as the FAST formula.
Facial drooping- If the person is smiling and one side of the face seems dropped is facial drooping. The smile seems uneven.
Arm weakness- Raise both the hands and if One arm drifts downward then it is a sign of one-sided arm weakness.
Speech difficulties- People who are suffering stroke have trouble in speaking. The words may get mixed while talking or they are not clear then it is stroke.
Time- If any person finds such symptoms in someone or in himself then immediately go to a doctor, without East any time.
According to stroke association, first three hours are very crucial. If the patient gets treatment during this time then the loss can be minimal.
