Three early symptoms of dad's stroke and a review of early detection and treatment

My father's warning signs of a stroke were an extremely severe headache, dizziness, and a feeling of numbness or loss of sensation that was different from usual.

As soon as the symptoms appeared, you went to a nearby large hospital and received emergency treatment for early stroke.

- If a stroke occurs and early blood clot removal procedures are performed immediately after warning signs appear, it is possible to live normally without sequelae.

 

My father, who is now in his mid-seventies,

About eight years ago, I almost had a serious problem due to a stroke.

 

Dad drives a private taxi.

You don't exercise separately, so you have a protruding belly, but

You were not taking any hypertension medication separately, and you did not have diabetes or hyperlipidemia.

 

Still, it wouldn't be good for Dad, who spends the whole day sitting in the car and just driving.

One day, while working at the company and heading home, I called my mother...

My mother said that my father went to the hospital in the early stages of a stroke and underwent a procedure.

Really, Dad went to the hospital quickly and had the procedure done safely without any major issues.

They said they only mentioned it after finishing work because they were worried about us...

 

A stroke? The terrifying disease called a cerebral infarction?

Still, I was relieved to hear that the procedure went well and there were no issues...

I still feel dizzy thinking about what could have happened if I had been just a little late.

 

 

Is everyone aware that a cerebral infarction occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked by a blood clot or similar obstruction, leading to brain damage?

Stroke, also called cerebral infarction, occurs when blood flow to the brain is insufficient due to narrowed blood vessels.

Permanent brain damage can lead to paralysis, slurred speech, and in severe cases, death.ㅠㅠ

 

 

Did God really help? Dad is dropping off a guest that day and is on the move to another place.

I was experiencing extremely severe headaches, dizziness, and some strange sensations.

He drove the taxi as it was and happened to find a large general hospital right next to him.

 

It was literally one of the three warning signs of a stroke.

Looking into warning signs of a stroke,

1) Severe headache, 2) Dizziness different from usual, 3) Neurological symptoms such as facial sensory paralysis

4) Sudden changes in vision, 5) slurred speech, and 6) loss of balance are reported.

 

However, there are many cases where people do not notice or overlook one or two things as strange.

Since my father usually did not experience or pay much attention to headaches or dizziness,

You thought something was strange, so you went to the hospital immediately.

 

I just thought that stroke and cerebral infarction were only scary...

Later, I found out that it was a truly critical emergency condition that required rapid treatment.

It was a disease where brain cells could be damaged even within 1-2 minutes, which could be a serious problem.

 

Fortunately, when Dad said he needed to go to the hospital due to preliminary symptoms

It was really fortunate that there was a large hospital nearby.

In the early stages of ischemic stroke, treatment is possible by administering thrombolytic agents to dissolve blood clots and unblock the affected blood vessels.

This also makes it difficult for hypertensive patients taking blood pressure medication or people with bleeding risks to undergo thrombolytic therapy.

Dad underwent a procedure to remove a blood clot from his blood vessels.

This is a procedure in which a catheter is inserted through the groin into the femoral artery to remove a blood clot from a blocked vessel.

Although the procedure time is not long, since the blood vessel needs to be punctured in one go, it is said that having the procedure done at a hospital with extensive experience is more accurate and better.

 

Really, Dad was able to find the hospital immediately after the warning signs appeared because heaven helped him.

That's right, since it's a large hospital, you were able to receive the procedure quickly...

 

I really thank the sky again when I think about it.

When I see my healthy dad next to me...

Annie's father quickly responded to the warning signs of his stroke, received treatment, and shared his recovery story after returning to normal.
