6 symptoms of a brain stroke

Brain stroke occurs when a blockage or rupture of a vessel through which blood flows to a certain area of the brain. As a result, the cells of this part of the brain are deprived of oxygen supply and die. Then the functions of the body, which are controlled by this part of the brain, are disrupted. So, if this part of the brain is responsible for movement, then its damage leads to paralysis of the leg or arm.

The onset of a stroke is usually asymptomatic. But after a few minutes, the brain cells deprived of nutrition begin to die, and the consequences of a stroke become noticeable.

Common symptoms of a stroke:

• non-fatal weakness in the face, arm, or leg, most often on one side of the body;
• nezapnoe opacity of consciousness, problems with speech or with understanding speech;
• non-standard vision problems in one or both eyes;
• non-standard gait disorder, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination;
• nezapnaya severe headache for an unknown reason;
• non-recurrent numbness and / or facial asymmetry.

It is very important to immediately recognize its symptoms in order to call an ambulance as soon as possible. After all, the earlier treatment is started, the better a person recovers from a stroke!
