“Stroke can be prevented and treated. The best way to prevent and treat stroke is to prevent it. In fact, 80 percent of strokes can be prevented. Also, emergency calls should be made as soon as you notice the signs of a stroke.” The chairman of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee noted in promoting Stroke Prevention Month. The American Stroke Association (ASA) recommends that people know the following five things: 1. Stroke can happen to anyone, and it is not “exclusive” to the elderly Stroke is more common in the elderly, but it can happen to anyone, including children and teens 2. high blood pressure is an important cause of stroke Managing blood pressure is an important tool for stroke prevention. 3/4 of people who have a first stroke have high blood pressure. 3. 3. Stroke has a tendency to be younger Stroke is the number one killer in the United States, and in our population. It is noteworthy that the age of onset of stroke is getting younger. 4. Stroke is treatable, time is life In the event of a stroke, almost 2 million brain cells die every minute. The fastest and best measure is to call the emergency center. Aim to arrive at the hospital within 3 to 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms. It is worth noting that even if the symptoms are mild, you should seek medical attention promptly because its recurrence rate and disability rate are still high. 5. If you notice slanting of the mouth, weakness of the arms, or slurred speech, call an ambulance immediately. Learn to recognize the signs of a possible stroke in your family by understanding the “FAST” and remember to call an ambulance. The so-called “FAST”, F (Face) refers to the face drooping, A (Arm) refers to arm weakness, S (Speech) refers to speech difficulties, T (Time) is the people around the discovery, you should call 120 or 999 in time.
