Neurosurgeons talked about how to recognize a person who has had a stroke that has begun.

According to doctors, in the event of a stroke, a person may complain of numbness in the limbs, migraines and dizziness, and a sharp deterioration in vision. If a stroke is suspected, the person should be asked to smile, and as broadly as possible. In acute cerebral blood flow disorders, a normal smile is given with great difficulty, a person cannot freely move both corners of the mouth apart at once.

Also, in a critical situation, you can ask a person to stick out their tongue. In a stroke, it is not possible to stick out the tongue straight, it turns out to be crooked or turned. If you see such a picture, you should contact a medical institution as soon as possible.

Stroke is a group of diseases that arise as a result of acute cerebral circulation disorders. They are characterized by a sudden disappearance or impairment of brain functions, which can lead to death: stroke is in third place on the list of causes of death after cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Recently, researchers from the Netherlands published in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry a conclusion that stroke will be among the three main diseases of the future. According to experts, stroke will overtake every second woman and every third man.
