Recognizing Stroke Symptoms
Overview:
One of the biggest challenges in treating strokes is the lack of awareness about their symptoms. If you or a loved one experiences any of these signs, call an ambulance immediately and inform them you suspect a stroke.
Key Symptoms:
1. Weakness or Paralysis: Sudden loss of strength in one arm, leg, or on one side of the body.
2. Numbness: Loss of feeling or a pins-and-needles sensation on one side of the body.
3. Difficulty Understanding Speech: Problems comprehending what others are saying.
4. Vision Issues: Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes, or sudden double vision.
5. Balance and Coordination Problems: Sudden difficulty with balance or coordination.
6. Severe Headache: An explosive, sudden, and intense headache.
Important Information:
A stroke occurs every 45 seconds in the United States. Increasing fiber intake is associated with less severe strokes, as noted in a Boston study involving 50 participants. The study showed that both total and insoluble fiber were inversely related to stroke severity, with an average intake of only 10 grams a day?"below the recommended 25 grams daily.
Causes of Stroke:
- An ischemic stroke happens when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot.
- A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel breaks, leading to bleeding in the brain.
- Lack of blood and oxygen can result in permanent brain damage as brain cells die.
Risk Factors:
- High blood pressure is the leading risk factor.
- Other factors include age, family history, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
- Certain medications, like birth control pills, can elevate stroke risk, especially in women over 35 who smoke.
- Men experience more strokes, but women face increased risk during and after pregnancy.
- Cocaine use, alcohol abuse, head injuries, and bleeding disorders can escalate the risk of brain bleeding.
