When admitted to the hospital, the doctors (BS) diagnosed her child with cerebral hemorrhage and performed emergency surgery on the same day. “Now I’m also partially awake but still have difficulty moving,” she said.

“The young cases of stroke often fall into those with underlying diseases or congenital abnormalities. Besides that, there are also causes of disordered living habits, abuse of stimulants such as beer, alcohol, etc. Smoking, eating a lot of protein leads to chronic diseases… And finally, due to sudden changes in weather, especially in the cold season, blood vessels will easily constrict, increasing blood pressure leading to stroke.” – BS Hai said.

Doctor Hai recommends, when people show signs such as sudden inability to speak or hum, stimulated shouting, weakness in arms and legs on the same side, distortion of mouth, sudden coma and disturbance of consciousness… need to be brought to a medical facility immediately for examination and emergency. Should not use methods such as scraping the wind, pressing the mouth … but miss the golden hour.
