Don't miss the signs of a stroke!
A stroke (cerebral infarction) is an acute interruption of blood circulation in the brain and develops when the ability to supply blood to the part of the brain is stopped, reduced or broken, therefore, the brain tissue can no longer be supplied with oxygen and necessary nutrients. Against the background of a chain reaction, brain cells begin to die in a few minutes.

The patient should be immediately placed in the emergency department of the clinic, because with timely treatment, the risk of brain damage and any other possible complications is significantly reduced.
