Stroke Recovery Treatment
IntelliHealthPlus Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand
Stroke is a serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Like all organs, the brain needs the oxygen and nutrients provided by blood to function properly. If the supply of blood is restricted or stopped, brain cells begin to die. This can lead to brain injury, disability and possibly death.
There are two main causes of strokes: ischaemic– where the blood supply is stopped due to a blood clot (this accounts for 85% of all cases), and, haemorrhagic – where a weakened blood vessel supplying the brain bursts.
A stroke happens very fast and will often happen before the patient can be attended by a physician for a proper diagnosis. Therefore it is important to ensure the victim is treated at the hospital within three hours of their signs and symptoms first showing.
What cause Stroke?
- Obese
- Those above the age of 55 years
- Have a family history of stroke
- Those with unhealthy lifestyle that includes smoking, drinking heavily, does not exercise a lot, poor eating habits, and uses illicit drugs
- Women are more likely to develop stroke as compared to men
Symptoms of Stroke:
- Confusion that involves difficulties with understanding and speaking
- Numbness particularly on one side of the body
- Impaired vision
- Challenges while walking; lack of coordination and dizziness
- Depending on how fast the condition is diagnosed and cured, the victim can experience temporary or permanent disabilities after the traumatizing experience.
Besides the above-highlighted symptoms, the patients may also undergo:
- Depression
- Bladder/ or bowel movement troubles
- Pain in the limbs that increases with changes in temperature and movement
- Paralysis on one or both sides of body
- Challenges expressing and regulating emotions
There are 3 different types of Stroke
Different types of stroke have different causes:
Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke is the most prevalent type and according to the American Heart Association (AHA), it accounts for 85% of strokes. This form of stroke is triggered by contraction/obstruction of arteries that supply blood to the brain; these obstructions are led by blood clots (plaque) which form either in the brain’s arteries or in other blood vessels within the body.
Hemorrhagic Stroke
This type of stroke come about when the arteries in the brain have a leakage or bursts open hence reducing the blood supply reaching the brain tissue as well as putting pressure and damaging brain cells. This rupture is caused by issues like high blood pressure, blood thinning drugs, trauma, and aneurysms (weak blood vessel walls).
Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Unlike the stroke types described above, the transient ischemic attack is temporary and it should serve not only as an indication of a partial clot in the heart but a cautionary signal for future strokes. According to a reported released by “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”, more than 1/3 of patients diagnosed with TIA go on to suffer a huge stroke within a year if they fail to receive medication. Actually, 10% to 15% will experience a major stroke within three months of a TIA.
