When to do angiogram and echocardiography.
In case of stroke the supply of oxygen and nutrients necessary for the survival of brain cells is stopped. That is the normal blood circulation of the brain is stopped. If the blood supply is stopped for more than two to five minutes the nerve cells are permanently destroyed. Stroke can happen at any time. And in case of stroke immediate treatment is required. Delayed treatment increases complications and in many cases leads to death.
Symptoms: Feeling weak or unable to move one side of the body. Numbness in the arms and legs. Face bending to one side. Severe headache. Slurred speech. Vomiting or nausea. Decreased vision. Numbness of the face slurred speech. Unsteady walking. Sudden seizures or falling down, etc. are symptoms of this disease.
Immediate action: If the above symptoms appear it should be understood that a stroke has occurred. In this case what should be done is to make the patient lie down on his back. In this situation no food or medicine can be given by mouth. Because they can enter the respiratory tract and cause further damage. Saliva and vomit accumulated in the mouth should be cleaned. The clothes on the body should be loosened. The patient should be taken to the nearest hospital or clinic quickly and the patient’s previous medical file should be taken while going to the hospital.
Test: If someone suffers a stroke, a radiologic test, CT scan, MRI of the brain should be done on an urgent basis. Doppler of the blood vessels of the neck, echo test for heart problems should be done. Blood clotting tendency should be checked. Angiogram and echocardiography should also be done if necessary.
Treatment: Since blood flow in the brain decreases in case of a stroke and it cannot survive for long with low blood flow immediate treatment should be started. Blood pressure and blood flow should be kept normal by applying medicine. Immediate treatment should be started to overcome the blood clot condition. Physiotherapy may be required for a long time after overcoming the initial stage. Therefore as soon as you realize that you have had a stroke you should seek the advice of a specialist doctor. If delayed, complications will gradually increase and the patient’s risk of death may increase.
Things to do to prevent stroke: Check blood pressure regularly. If someone has high blood pressure take medicine regularly as per the doctor’s advice and keep the blood pressure under control. Do not stop taking medicine without the doctor’s advice. You should quit smoking and drinking alcohol. It is good to walk regularly. Try to make necessary changes in your daily diet. Try to avoid stress and stay worry-free. Keep your weight under control. It should be remembered that if you can control diabetes and high blood pressure the risk of stroke can be reduced to a great extent.
