Heart attack and stroke are serious health problems among the old and young alike after the Covid pandemic. Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. A stroke occurs when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted for any reason.

During a stroke, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. Whichever part of the cells are destroyed, the functions of that part do not take place, and as a result, memory, vision, hearing, muscle control, etc. are affected. How a stroke affects a patient depends on how much brain damage has occurred. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people have a stroke in Britain each year, and more than 38,000 die from it.

It is generally thought that a stroke can strike a person without any symptoms. But doctors say this is wrong. Researchers say that two weeks before a stroke, the body will show some clear signs. If this is identified, 90 percent of strokes can be prevented, they say.

One of these is sudden numbness in any part of the body. This is caused by a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. With the passage of time, this condition will return to normal. So most people ignore this symptom.

Another symptom is sudden delirium and confusion. The person experiencing this symptom sometimes cannot remember their name or other information for a short time. After a while everything will be back to normal. If you notice these symptoms, you should seek the help of a doctor as soon as possible.
