7 SINAIS 1 MÊS ANTES DE OCORRER UM AVC | DERRAME CEREBRAL.

Hey guys! All good? You've certainly heard of a stroke, right?

Does the body give any signals a month or a few months before you have a stroke? If you feel any of these signs that I'm going to tell you about in the video, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, because they could be signs that a stroke is about to happen. These 7 signs can start to appear a month before the stroke and the longer it goes without an accurate diagnosis, the brain you may be losing is.

It doesn't matter how old you are, whether you are young, a woman, elderly or whether you are healthy, for some reasons cardiovascular diseases are increasing worldwide, especially among young people. This is undoubtedly the biggest cause of death in Brazil, there are more than 300 deaths per day. So stay with me because today you will find out what are the 7 signs that your body gives a month before a stroke and how to prevent this disease and get rid of this terrible statistic.

Without further ado, run the vignette! Doctor Roberto Yano, Cardiologist. Hello, heartfelt friends!

All good? I am Doctor Roberto Yano, Cardiologist, Pacemaker Specialist. Today we are going to talk about a disease that is very prevalent throughout the world.

To give you an idea, in Brazil, one person every 2 minutes has a stroke. There are almost 800 people suffering from strokes every day. Of these 800, amazingly, 300 people die.

The other 500 who survive, some have to deal with the consequences of the disease and others can return to living normally. Many signs that occur a month before are subtle, many people ignore them or end up confusing them with something else. The most important thing is that you know how to recognize it.

It doesn't matter if you are young, old, healthy or have any comorbidity, stroke can happen to anyone. So keep an eye out. I will also tell you here about the difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.

You there, do you know? And another thing I'm going to tell you is what a cerebral aneurysm is, what the warning signs are and finally, you should know what a TIA is, the transient ischemic attack, which can happen before a stroke and if you know what are the signs and symptoms it gives, you can save your life or that of a family member who is close to you. But tell me, do you know the difference between an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke?

I will explain to you here in a very simple way the difference between these two types of stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blockage in the blood supply to part of the brain. This can be caused by a blood clot that forms somewhere else in the body and travels to the brain, or by a plaque there that forms in the brain's own arteries.

One of the classic examples is a person who has atrial fibrillation. This arrhythmia leads to abnormal and turbulent blood flow in the heart and, when associated with other changes, leads to the formation of clots and thrombi within the heart. These thrombi come out, they leave the heart, most of the time they then travel to the brain, leading to ischemic stroke.

So atrial fibrillation is a type of cardiac arrhythmia related to ischemic stroke. In the case of plaque obstruction, there is an accumulation of fat, the formation of that atherosclerotic plaque that I always talk about, which blocks the passage of blood flow through the brain. This can happen in patients with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smokers, and so on.

When blood does not reach a part of the brain, cells in that area can begin to lack oxygen and nutrients, which can then lead to brain damage. This type of stroke is the most common and represents 85% of all cases. In hemorrhagic stroke, blood leaks into the brain.

This happens when the blood vessel in the brain ruptures and blood spreads to areas where it shouldn't. Blood leakage can cause pressure and damage surrounding brain cells. This can result in several complications.

In summary here for you to understand, in ischemic stroke, there is a blockage in blood flow, while in hemorrhagic stroke, there is a leak of blood to the brain. Both types of stroke are serious and require immediate medical attention to minimize future damage. And what is the common cause of a hemorrhagic stroke, one that bleeds?

It's a brain aneurysm. And can you tell if you have a brain aneurysm before it happens? What do you think?

Leave it here in the comments and I want to know. Cerebral aneurysms are abnormal dilations in an artery in the brain, they look like a bubble in the arteries. So there is a risk of them becoming fragile and breaking.

And here comes the danger. Brain aneurysms often have no symptoms until they rupture. The person never felt anything, soon a cerebral artery ruptures, that's it, the person has a hemorrhagic stroke.

Yes, that can happen. Despite this, there are some signs and symptoms that may also indicate the presence of a brain aneurysm. It is important to know that if you suspect a brain aneurysm, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, because the rupture of the aneurysm is a medical emergency.

But the good news is that not all aneurysms rupture and many people live with them without any problems. A lot of people out there have a brain aneurysm and don't even know they have it. But it's important for you to know that it exists.

And then of course, when the doctor suspects a cerebral aneurysm, he may request some specific tests, CT angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, cerebral arteriography, to check whether these aneurysms are at risk of rupturing and whether they need to be treated. But anyway, let's go! What are the 7 signs or symptoms that can occur one month before a stroke and if this happens to you, of course, seek medical attention.

Ah, it's important to remember that if you have a first-degree relative who has a brain aneurysm, even if you don't have any symptoms, you should look for a good neurologist to check if you don't have any brain disease either, okay? Don't forget that, first degree relatives. And remember to share this video with your family , you could be helping to save a life.

Let's go! First sign: persistently high pressure. When I talk about persistent high blood pressure in relation to stroke, I am referring to chronic high blood pressure.

If it is not well controlled, it can greatly increase the risk of a stroke. Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of our arteries, right? If this pressure is high, it is high blood pressure.

This high pressure can damage blood vessels, over time it can cause them to become narrower, weaker and even rupture. If a blood vessel in the brain ruptures due to high blood pressure, bleeding can occur, resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke. If high blood pressure damages the arteries that supply blood to your brain, it can reduce blood flow, blockage and lead to an ischemic stroke.

So, how important is it to know if you are hypertensive and if you are hypertensive to treat appropriately? I talk to my patients every day. Make a lifestyle change, take your medications correctly to control your blood pressure.

This is essential to reduce the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. In fact, for those of you who don't know, Clínica Yano is here in Indaiatuba, right guys? Close to Viracopos airport.

So, if you are from Campinas, Sorocaba, Jundiaí, São Paulo, Limeira, Americana, you can consult with me in person, as we are here in Indaiatuba and I provide services throughout Brazil via telemedicine. I'll leave the link here in the description. But let's go!

Second symptom: excessive fatigue. So, excessive fatigue or extreme tiredness can be a symptom or warning sign before a stroke. Remembering that fatigue can also have other causes.

When I talk about fatigue in relation to stroke, I mean that intense, persistent tiredness, which may be atypical for you and is not related to physical exertion or lack of sleep, for example. Excessive tiredness may be related to changes in blood flow to the brain. It could be due to a narrowing of an artery due to atherosclerosis or a possible clot there, which interferes with the supply of oxygen.

So, if you are feeling unusually tired, also see a doctor to be evaluated. Sometimes extreme fatigue can precede a TIA, which is a warning that there is a temporary problem with the blood supply to the brain. A TIA, folks, is a transient condition that can be an indication that a stroke is about to happen.

In TIA, which is a transient ischemic attack, the symptoms are temporary, usually lasting a few minutes to a few hours, without causing permanent damage to the brain. In AIT, the patient presents the same symptoms as a stroke, but in less than 24 hours he is symptom-free. What happens is that, generally, an artery in the brain is blocked, but in less than 24 hours the body itself manages to dissolve the thrombus, the clot in the brain, and the patient no longer has symptoms.

So, this is a strong indication that a stroke is about to happen to you. So keep an eye on that, folks. It doesn't matter, so if you have any temporary signs or symptoms, still see a doctor as soon as possible.

Let's go, third symptom: vision problems. So, if you have any sudden changes in vision it could be a warning sign. Blurred vision, double vision, eye problems, difficulty focusing, may be signs of circulatory damage in the brain.

Of course, there are also other causes of vision problems, right, guys? Even so, he doesn't stop investigating what is happening. When vision loss occurs there, it may be that there has been a blockage in one of the arteries that supply blood to the eye, for example.

This could be a sign of an ischemic stroke, which is the most common type of stroke. So, pay attention to that too, okay? Fourth symptom: sudden and intense headache.

Sudden, sudden headache may precede a stroke. It is important to note that not all headaches are related to a stroke and that not all strokes are also preceded by a headache. In ischemic stroke, headache occurs due to obstruction of blood flow to the brain.

These pains, when they occur, are described as severe and sudden. In hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when there is bleeding in the brain, the headaches are also intense and occur due to the bleeding there, increasing intracranial pressure, increasing pressure inside the brain. I've heard of people reporting that they saw someone having a stroke, and they said that the person put their hand on their head, looked very painful and some time later they lost consciousness.

This is common, especially in hemorrhagic stroke. This headache is often described as the worst headache of their lives. So, this really happens.

Sometimes a severe headache can be a sign that an aneurysm there is about to rupture in the brain. Another thing for us to always keep an eye on as well. Second symptom: numbness or weakness in the extremities.

Numbness or weakness in the extremities, especially on one side of the body, can be a warning sign before a stroke. These symptoms can occur during a TIA. I already explained to you, right, that it is that temporary condition of lack of blood flow to a part of the brain.

But this sudden numbness or weakness usually occurs in one part of the body, such as the arm or leg or one side of the face. One side of the body may lose sensation. These symptoms usually only last a few minutes or a few hours, but they should never be ignored either.

Even if it is not a stroke, it could be a neurological problem that should always be investigated. Sixth sign: speech problems. A person who is about to have a stroke may have sudden difficulty speaking.

Her speech may be slurred, she may have difficulty saying the words or provide complete sentences. What we call afazia occurs, which is the difficulty in understanding, formulating or expressing speech. So that could happen too.

Seventh symptom: here I will talk about the other neurological symptoms. There may still be so many signs and symptoms that it would not be possible to highlight everything in the video. Therefore, I preferred to group them here with other neurological symptoms.

A person who is about to have a stroke, whether hemorrhagic or ischemic, may have other neurological symptoms. They may have, for example, memory problems, they may have loss of balance, they may have nausea, vomiting, which may also be earlier indicators. In other words, they may appear a few days or a few weeks before brain closure.

Remembering folks, there are several other differential diagnostic problems that also give similar symptoms. For example, if you have a migraine it can cause these symptoms. People with seizures, hypoglycemia, encephalitis, brain tumors, anxiety attacks, for example, may have this.

Infections in your central nervous system. As I always say, always look for a good doctor to be well evaluated. And just to finish, another thing you should know about strokes is that there are many myths about this disease.

First myth: they don't just affect the elderly. Young people, teenagers, can also have a stroke. According to myth, stroke is not always fatal.

So, as I said at the beginning, in Brazil almost 800 people a day have a stroke. Of these 300 do not survive. 500 survive.

Some of them without sequelae, others with lifelong sequelae. A stroke will not always be preceded by a headache. It can cause other symptoms and one of them is headache, which may or may not be present.

In fact, strokes don't always show any symptoms before they happen. That's why I always say that prevention is fundamental. Avoiding the atherosclerosis process that I always talk about in all my videos, this is fundamental.

Teaching you to take care of yourself, that's important. That's why I make these videos every week to help you with how to take care of yourself and how to take care of those you love. And for those of you who were unsure whether or not it is possible to diagnose an aneurysm, there is that possibility.

As most of them are asymptomatic, we investigate aneurysms when there is a family history. So, first-degree relatives, as I said there, it is extremely important to investigate. The investigation is through those tests that I mentioned, angiotomography, angioresonance.

But the most important thing here is to know how to prevent diseases that can increase the risk of a stroke. "How do I prevent it, doctor? " This is easy, right?

I talk about this in every video of mine and you're tired of knowing this. But control your blood pressure, if you have diabetes, control your blood glucose levels, maintain your ideal weight, exercise regularly for at least 150 minutes a week, eat fresh, healthy foods, avoid processed foods, avoid eat sugar, excessive saturated fat, excessive alcoholic beverages, if you smoke I don't even need to say it, have a low-stress life, control your cholesterol, keep your check-ups up to date with your cardiologist, this will prevent you of a possible stroke in the future.
