What Happens When Someone Has a Stroke?

 A stroke is like a brain accident where a vein in the brain gets blocked or burst. So those veins are like small tubes that carry blood. The blood supply to the brain should not be delayed because when there is no blood there is no oxygen to reach the brain which could cause the brain tissue to die.

It is important to understand that the brain is a very important part of our body. Because the brain functions so that we can feel, see, hear, smell, speak, understand, act, plan, feel, think correctly and almost everything we can do is under the control of our brain.

The brain mainly needs oxygen and nutrients to function properly. since the brain is the control center of the whole body, it is necessary that the blood flow to the brain is good so that oxygen and nutrients can also enter it well.

In the case of a stroke, when a vein in the brain is blocked or ruptured, the most common symptom is the inability to move half of the body. Hard to move hands and feet. Others lose their balance and fall easily when sitting or standing. Difficulty speaking, behavior changes, irritable, absent-minded, forgetful. Sometimes even control over urination and defecation is also lost.

The symptoms seen in each stroke patient are different. If there is a blockage in the right side of the brain, the left hand and foot cannot be moved. If the left side of the brain is blocked, the right hand and foot cannot be moved and it is often difficult to speak.

To prevent the progression of a stroke, do not ignore these symptoms.

1.) hanging half of the face. Assymetry occurs or the face is uneven, as if one side is tilted.

2.) Can't raise one hand. When ordered to raise the hands at the same time, only one can raise. If both are raised, one will immediately fall.

3.) Difficult to speak, stuttering

4.) Take the person experiencing these symptoms to the hospital/emergency room immediately. Do not prolong or allow more than four hours without being taken to the hospital. There is a high chance that the brain damage will be severe if immediate treatment is not given.

Having a stroke is no joke. Good luck to others who have recovered and returned to their former strength. But many who have had a stroke are unable to walk normally, have limited hand movement, and are unable to speak properly.

So nowadays, it's not just the elderly who get strokes. You should be careful with your body, eat right, avoid alcohol and cigarettes, and exercise. and that's all. thank you very much
