View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeremy London, MD (@drjeremylondon) According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, stroke is an emergency situation. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function well, but if blood flow is interrupted even for a short time, this can cause problems and lead to a stroke. So, what warning signs and symptoms of stroke should you look out for, and what can you do about them? According to Dr Jeremy, a stroke occurs when there's a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain, either from a blockage or a bleed. And when this happens, brain cells begin to die. He further states, “So minutes count with a stroke.”Remember ‘BE FAST’
But, how do you remember the signs of a stroke? The cardiovascular surgeon suggests a simple way to do it: remembering the acronym ‘BE FAST’ and if any of the signs occur, immediately contact your doctor. Here's what it stands for: B for balance: If your balance is off, if you're lightheaded or dizzy. E for eyes: A sudden change in your vision, either total loss or double vision. F is for face: Facial drooping or asymmetry, or when one side of the face looks uneven. A is for arm: Arm weakness; you're unable to hold your arm up. S is for speech: Slurred speech or unable to find words. T is for time: It's time to call 911 (or another emergency number in your country). Lastly, the cardiovascular surgeon noted the most important thing to remember: “You shouldn't drive yourself or someone else to the hospital because therapy can be instituted in the ambulance, and they can notify the stroke team that you're going to arrive.” “Time equals brain tissue saved. So remember, recognise the signs of stroke: BE FAST. Call the emergency number,” he cautioned.
