Stroke

Cerebrovascular disease or stroke is a condition in which the brain lacks blood or has bleeding in the brain, causing brain cells to lack oxygen, resulting in brain cell death.

What is cerebrovascular disease?

Cerebrovascular disease or Stroke is a condition of the brain caused by ischemic/occlusion of the cerebral blood vessels or bleeding in the brain or symptoms of cerebral vascular disease causing blood to be unable to nourish the brain causing brain cells to lack oxygen resulting in brain death. Patients must see a doctor immediately. Urgent treatment is very important because it helps reduce the severity of brain death and also reduces other complications and also prevents disability and handicap that will occur.

Symptoms of stroke or cerebrovascular disease

Observing symptoms is very important. Therefore, you should observe and check your symptoms if the patient or someone close to you has the following symptoms or not because they may be a sign of cerebrovascular disease.

• Slurred speech, inability to speak or understand what other people
  say. People with this condition may feel confused, dizzy, have difficulty speaking clearly, or have trouble understanding what other people say.
• Weakness (paralysis) or numbness in the face, arms, or legs.
  Patients will experience sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs. Most of the time, the symptoms will occur on only one side of the body, along with a crooked mouth, slurred speech, or inability to speak.
• Vision problems in one or both eyes.
  The patient will experience sudden blurred vision or double vision.
• Dizziness/headache
  Severe, sudden onset of symptoms often associated with other symptoms such as trouble walking, balance problems, or altered consciousness. Nausea and vomiting.
