Physical therapy after a stroke (Photo: TTO) During a party, a woman comes to the table to get food and slips and collapses. She got up and said that it was okay, just because she wore new shoes and bricks of the floor seemed too smooth, the party continued to look like nothing.

When the party was over and everyone went away soon, the husband of the slipped woman called to let everyone know she was hospitalized in a serious condition. By 6 am the next day, the ill-fated woman died. She had a stroke at a party that no one had noticed. If just someone right after she slipped and knew how to detect symptoms of a stroke and taken immediately to the hospital, it would be possible to save a person from a fairly common disease.

How to detect

When you see a person with signs of weakness, such as walking, slip or collapse, we help them return to their normal state and ask them three questions in the following order:

S: Ask them to laugh and smile.

T: Ask them to say a short sentence (talk).

For example, say: ' Today is so beautiful '

R: Ask them to raise their hands to try (raise both arong).

This is a way of trying to see if the person's nervous system is working properly, if a stroke is a condition with a lack of blood to feed the brain, a stroke sufferer does not have normal awareness to perform 3 requirements of 3 The question from being less motivated is to smile more often than to talk and move more and raise your hands. If the respondent fails to fulfill one of the three requirements, it is considered a sign of a stroke, and the person should be taken to the hospital in time.

A cardiologist has information on how to detect this simple stroke on the internet and says that anyone who receives the information will send information via email to 10 other people who will definitely save someone's life from the death scythe due to stroke.

For those who know English, remember the 3 stro letters of the stroke to set 3 questions to identify stroke is easy. For a large number of people who only know Vietnamese, the writer would like to propose 3 Vietnamese words: Laughing, speaking, greeting two hands. To detect signs of stroke in suspicious people with this disease, ask 3 questions so that the person laughs, says, holds up his hands; If the person does not perform one of the 3 friendly gestures, it is clear that there is a problem, and should be taken to the hospital for timely medical examination and treatment.
