Director of the Institute of Cerebrovascular Pathology and Stroke of the Russian Federation Nikolai Shamalov spoke about how to recognize a stroke.
According to the expert, it is extremely important to monitor your own physical condition.
In a conversation with the Parliamentary Newspaper , Shamalov emphasized: “A stroke is usually caused by a rupture or blockage of a blood vessel.”
According to the doctor, this condition is always accompanied by physical discomfort.
What is important to remember
Shamalov explained that when a stroke occurs, weakness of the muscles of the face or limbs always occurs, most often on one half of the body.
The expert added: "There is a disturbance of sensitivity. Both pronunciation and understanding of speech are always affected."
According to the doctor, when such a condition occurs, it is always important to call an ambulance as soon as possible.
Shamalov pointed out: “Timely medical intervention minimizes the severe consequences of a stroke.”
