Sudden weakness, darkness in the eyes, dizziness, loss of balance, numbness in the arms and legs, severe headache and slurred speech are the main signs of a stroke. This acute violation of cerebral circulation is one of those diseases in which medical care in the first minutes and hours after a stroke (no more than three hours) literally saves a person’s life. The sooner doctors restore the impaired blood supply to the brain, the greater the patient’s chances for a full recovery. That is why doctors from the American Center for Health Improvement have been conducting an educational project for the third year, within the framework of which they teach… schoolchildren in the classroom to recognize the signs of a stroke and provide first aid. Children do their homework together with their parents and other family members. “The victim, as a rule, does not understand what is happening to him, he becomes helpless,” the authors of the project remind. The main thing when symptoms of a stroke appear is not to get confused and take the necessary measures.
