Be careful / These are the four warning signs that you are suffering from ischemia

Stroke or otherwise known as cerebral hemorrhage is a disease that manifests when blood flow to the brain is interrupted as a result of a blockage of a blood vessel.

Statistics on the spread of the disease are scarce, however, doctors say that in 40 percent of cases people affected by ischemia remain paralyzed.

The data so far say that the counties with the highest number of deaths from ischemia are:

Berat 5.7 deaths per 1000 inhabitants

Korça with 5.3 deaths per 1000 inhabitants,

Shkodra with 5.1 deaths per 1000 inhabitants.

Kukes with 4.7 deaths per 1000 inhabitants.

The counties with the lowest mortality from ischemic diseases are:

Durrës with 3.4 deaths per 1000 inhabitants

Tirana with 3.5 deaths per 1000 inhabitants,

Elbasan with 4.6 deaths per 1000 inhabitants

Lezha with 4.1 deaths per 1000 inhabitants.

Neurologists in the country warn that people should be wary of some of the main signs of ischemia.

They are:

Deformation of a part of the face

People who suffer from ischemia in most cases experience deformity of one side of the face.

If you suspect such a problem, ask the person to smile and thus you will spot any possible distortion.

Weakening of the Arm

One of the most common signs is numbness or weakening of the arm.

If you suspect a person is being affected by ischemia, ask them to raise both arms and notice if one of them is having difficulty.

Difficulty Speaking

When a person is struck by ischemia, then he or she finds it impossible to speak or articulate words.

If in doubt, ask the person to say a short word.

If the person in question finds it difficult to connect two words or is quite vague, then he must be suffering a stroke.

Call the Emergency

If someone has such symptoms, it is very important to react quickly and call the emergency or go to the hospital immediately./AgroWeb.org
