Professor Nguyen Lan Viet, Chairman of Vietnam Heart Association, said that the nature of wind and stroke is completely different . In order to distinguish it, first of all need to understand what is stroke. Stroke or stroke is a brain stroke, consisting of two forms: cerebral hemorrhage (broken blood vessels) and brain ischemia that occurs when blood vessels are carried to the brain or in the brain blocked by thrombosis, atherosclerotic wall.

Stroke has many different clinical manifestations, from very light like a person suddenly full of tongue, speaking a little lisp, heavy speech disorder, speech loss. Usually its expression involves a muscle group such as holding chopsticks, bowls, and pens, causing them to fall. More severe, numbness of a muscle group, typically more weak, paralyzed half of people; more severe, the patient may be deluded or lethargic.

" Winning wind or feeling manifested mainly dizziness, fatigue, chills, body pain, even fainting, face distortion (peripheral nerve paralysis) . It has no signs of physical disorder, movement or language disorder, not paralyzing, Vietnamese professor said.

Therefore, Vietnamese professor recommends cases of localized neurological dysfunction, movement disorders, language, paralysis . should be taken to the nearest medical record. In case of stroke due to cerebral anemia before 3 hours, the treatment effect is good, the doctor can use fibrinolytic drugs or remove thrombus. Coming to the hospital late, the therapeutic effect greatly reduced. The first 3-4 hours from the onset of stroke is considered a golden time to save lives. The patient should not risk waiting to see if he or she has been "hit by the wind" because he can ignore the opportunity to treat.
