Stroke aka stroke are becoming important issues of medicine because the average life expectancy is increasing the risk of stroke depends on age. In particular, the disease increases when the weather is cold. Each year, in our country, Stroke affects hundreds of thousands of people and leave the serious sequelae.

Stroke is what?
Stroke occurs when blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain tissue that is blocked or ruptured. When this happens, the nerve cells in the brain would be paralyzed, does not work anymore. Therefore, the body because they no longer control the same functions. There are many different reasons cause complications, but the most common is a clogged artery by a blood clot known as thrombosis, which is formed inside the artery. Or artery atherosclerosis in the blood vessels due to fat accumulation and thickening. This gradually narrowing of blood vessels, causing slow flow, to a point forming blood clots. The clot went wandering entrained flow and muffled in a particular brain circuit called a cerebral embolism. If an artery in the brain bursts causing bleeding called a brain hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhage can occur in patients with atherosclerosis and hypertension or occur after a head injury or a congenital aneurysm rupture.

Recognize early signs Stroke
Paralyzed limbs: patients feel a side or paralyzed limbs, sore, tired body, mouth saliva flow, dizziness ... a few hours or a few days earlier. The most obvious manifestation of this is after waking up. This is a form of response from the carotid artery system does not provide enough blood, brain ischemia, hypoxia.
Suddenly the dark face, not seeing things: the phenomenon usually occurs within a few seconds or a few minutes and then recover normal vision. This demonstrates that retinal ischemia was temporary, the ability of the cerebral circulation is severely narrowed.
Patients with inarticulate phenomenon: not speak or difficulty speaking or understanding others say, sometimes chaotic thinking, asking not answer, call no answer ... This is because the blood supply to the brain deficiency, affecting the language center of the brain cortex.
Patients phenomenon dizziness, nausea, sometimes even feel dizzy and then suddenly fell unconscious. The reason is that the arteries that supply blood to the brain is not enough to influence the cerebellum and neural organizations involved.
Headache, dizziness: If the patient has a history of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage when, the fluctuation of blood pressure will rise, causing headaches, dizziness, and even nausea, vomiting, in the sense uncomfortable ... It could have happened phenomenon brain hemorrhage.
Yawn more: In the elderly, due to hardening of the brain arteries, the blood vessels are narrowed makes blood circulation slows down, causing anemia, lack of oxygen to the brain function organized nao.Chuc cause is affected yawning. If in a few days, the elderly have more yawning repeatedly demonstrated cerebral ischemia and stroke can happen to vigilance.
Cerebral arteries or atherosclerosis is the principle cause of cerebral vascular accident.

Precautions like?
Stroke happens very suddenly, patients do not feel any pain. Therefore, patients are sometimes called helper, therefore likely to lose precious time is the time we can save the brain (also called golden hour) in 3 hours early disease. When the detection of late complications, despite aggressive treatment is easy to serious sequelae. Therefore, detection and aggressive treatment of the causes of accidents is important, such as the treatment of hypertension, atherosclerosis, avoid stress, work proper rest, exercise regularly medium with their best, do not drink much alcohol ... When symptoms headache, dizziness, malaise, fatigue unexplained ..., need to right medical facility for examination, early detection and timely treatment.
Number Stroke is common in our country in the 50s, with a higher proportion of men and women about 3 times. Up to 80% of patients with a history of hypertension (while more than two thirds of patients with hypertension do not find themselves ill, and when discovered hypertension then also not be nearly ½ value, of the treatment will be treated properly only some non ¼), followed by those for heart disease, diabetes ... Time seizures usually occur from 1 am to 12 noon, increased disease risk High in the winter when the weather changes suddenly. Also common symptoms as mentioned above, the patient may have symptoms such as headache, neck cham- region, language disorders, disorders of sensation, loss of consciousness, mental disorders ...
