Is it a stroke?

Stroke disease is a disorder of brain function caused by blood flow to the brain is

impaired (reduced). As a result, nutrients and oxygen to the brain dbutuhkan not

properly fulfilled. Cause there are two kinds of stroke, namely the existence of

blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of a ruptured blood vessel.



Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, because of the aging process causes

hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats

that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But some recent cases showed an increase in

cases of stroke that occurs in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In

this group, stroke is the leading cause of stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and

lifestyle is not healthy.



Causes of stroke



In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (hereditary) is the major cause of

stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessels are fragile

and easily broken, or the blood system disorders such as hemophilia and

thalassemia diseases are passed down from parents of patients. Meanwhile, if a

family member with diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), and

heart disease, stroke likely to be larger in other family members.



The cause of stroke is a food with high levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density

Lipoprotein) is very high. These evil Koleserol widely available in junk food, or fast

food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercising and moving, lots

of drinking alcohol, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive substances, much less

rest time, and prolonged stress. Rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by

high blood pressure (hypertension).



Symptoms of a stroke



The initial symptoms of stroke are generally dizziness, head was spinning (such as

vertigo disease), then followed with a speech impairment and mouth muscles. Other

symptoms are feeling tergangguanya sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched

or pricked needles) and the body feels paralyzed side, and the absence of reflex

movement. Often also occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to the blood supply

and oxygen to the eye is reduced drastically), disruption of taste in the mouth of the

system and the muscles of the mouth (so often met with a wry face), paralysis of the

muscles of the body, and disruption system memory and emotion. Common people

can not stop crying because of paralysis of the brain controls the emotions system. It

makes people act like a stroke patient psychiatric disease, but it's not. Things like

this that need to be understood by the family of the patient.



The healing process



There are two main healing process that must be lived with. First is the healing with

medicines in hospitals. Strict control should be done to keep the bad cholesterol can

be lowered and did not grow up. In addition, patients are also prohibited from eating

foods that can trigger a stroke such as junk food and salt (can lead to hypertension).



The healing process second is fisiotherapy, which exercises the muscles to restore

muscle function and communication function to approach its former

condition. Fisiotherapi Fisiotherapi conducted with instructors, and patients must

adhere to the exercise performed. If this is not lived Fisiotherapi seriously, it can

occur in permanent paralysis of the limbs that have experienced paralysis.



Healing in patients with stroke varies widely. There can be cleared completely

(100%), some are only 50% only. Healing is dependent on whether or not severe

stroke, the condition of the patient's body, in obedience to the patient undergoing the

healing process, perseverance and spirit of the patient to recover, as well as support

and understanding from all family members of patients. Often found that stroke

survivors can recover, but suffered from severe depression because their families do

not want to understand and feel very disturbed by illness (such as attitudes do not

accept the person's condition, the harsh treatment because the patient had to clean

dirt, submit the patient to the nurse who also treats patients with a rough, and so

on). This should be avoided if a family member who suffered a stroke.
