Active working capacity, heavy loads, improper nutrition, poor ecology - all this leads to the fact that our body malfunctions and starts to function incorrectly. Any disease requires immediate treatment, and as for stroke, then the help of an outsider is simply necessary.

The main symptoms of stroke and micro stroke

Microinsult, unlike stroke, affects only small vessels of the brain, so the cells around the affected tissue are restored. If, after a stroke, a person can permanently lose the ability to perform certain functions due to brain damage, the micro-insult can pass unnoticed for the sick person. However, this does not detract from the severity of the disease, it is best to consult a doctor within 6 hours after the signs of a micro-stroke, in order to eliminate all the negative consequences.
