Anything can happen in life. And if in your presence a person became ill, how much further you can determine what happened determines his further health and even life. That is why we want to tell you about the main signs of a stroke. In men, this is a fairly common disease associated with impaired blood vessels in the head. Their rupture causes a hemorrhage in the brain, which can affect healthy cells, affect the functioning of nerve endings and even lead to death.
So, what signs of a stroke can you recognize by simply looking at a person?
- The man’s face becomes red-burgundy, breathing quickens, and the pulse rolls over. He may complain of headache and dizziness.
- Vomiting may occur.
- Numbness of the face and weakness of facial wrinkles are also the first signs of a stroke in men.
- A person’s speech becomes incoherent, fuzzy, it is difficult for him to grasp the meaning of what is happening and to connect even simple sentences.
- Can cramp limbs.
In order to confirm your suspicions (the signs of a stroke in men can be false), you should conduct a simple test called "UZP".
“U” - smile. This is what you should ask a person first. If a stroke struck him, then his smile would be wrong, distorted, with one corner of his lips down. This is due to the fact that a man can no longer control the muscles of his face.
"Z" - to speak. The speech of the man with whom the trouble happened will be similar to the incoherent words of a heavily drunk person. He will speak with difficulty, slowly, slurredly and stammered.
"P" - to raise. Give the task to raise both hands up. If the patient succeeds, then one of them will probably be located below the other.
With this test, you can recognize the first signs of a stroke in men, provide help and call a doctor - so you can maintain health and even save a life. Believe me, this person will be very grateful to you. Therefore, if you notice the first signs of a stroke in a man , first aid should be provided immediately to prevent irreversible consequences in disruption of the brain.
- Unfasten the buttons on the wrists and on the collar, remove tight and tight clothes.
- Put the patient on a horizontal surface, however, try to keep his head as high as possible. Under it, you can put high pillows or whatever is at hand: clothes, towels and more.
- Open the window immediately and give fresh air access if you are in a stuffy room.
- If possible, place the man’s feet in slightly hot water. This will help drive blood away from the head.
- Give the patient the pills prescribed by the doctor if he has suffered from high blood pressure before.
- If a person is already unconscious, in no case do not pour medicine into him - so he can suffocate.
Remember that a person’s life depends on your actions and timely assistance.
