National Stroke Awareness Month

 

Stroke/Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) is the sudden death of some brain cells due to a lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain.

 

Symptoms of a stroke:

  • Weakness or paralysis of one side of the body with partial or complete loss of voluntary movement or sensation in a leg or arm,

  • There can be speech problems and weak face muscles, causing drooling.

  • Numbness or tingling is very common.

  • A stroke involving the base of the brain can affect balance, vision, swallowing, breathing and even unconsciousness.

National Stroke Awareness Month is also a timely reminder of stroke survivors and how organizations such as the National Stroke Association supports stroke survivors through their lifelong journey of recovery. This program places emphasis on making the public aware about Acting FAST. According to the National Stroke Association, a person experiencing a stroke can be treated if people have acted   FAST > 80% of strokes can also be prevented.  FAST being an acronym for things to check in a suspected stroke victim:

 

F - Face - Does the face droop on one side when the person smiles?

A - Arm - After raising both arms, does one of the arms drift downwards?

S - Speech- After repeating a simple phrase, does the persons speech sound slurred or strange?

T - Time - If any or all of the above are observed call for 9-1-1 and ask for medical assistance.

 

Remember as I always say, education is the key and always consult your doctor for any health related issues or questions. These are health tips to improve your life.

 

Thank you,

Fannie W. Jones, Medical Ministry

l Medical Ministry Health Notes

 

 

National Autism Awareness Month

 

Autism is a complex mental condition and developmental disability, characterized by difficulties in the way a person communicates and interacts with other people. Autism can be present at birth or form during early childhood; usually during the first three years. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability with no single known cause.

 

Some difficulties associated with Autism:

  • Social Skills - problems interacting with others

  • Physical Contact - in some cases, autistic people do not like physical contact such as hugs, tickling or physical play with others

  • Sudden changes to their environment - such as a loud noise, a smell or a changing in lighting.

  • Speech - 'Echolalia' is when the person repeats words/phrases that they hear.

Changes to behavior and routine: people with autism often display repetitive behavior in which they repeat the same action many times over.

A better informed public will be more empathetic and supportive towards people with autism.

Remember as I always say, education is the key and always consult your doctor for any health related issues or questions. These are health tips to improve your life.

 

Thank you,

Fannie W. Jones, Medical Ministry
