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.
