JAKARTA - Symptoms of stroke can suddenly appear when you just wake up, without knowing when the problem started before. This condition is known as a stroke when you wake up, which is usually an ixemic stroke case.

Launching from Health Matters, on Monday, December 16, 2024, an ixemic stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain stops due to blood clots. This is different from hemorrhagic stroke, caused by rupture of blood vessels.

People who had a stroke last night will wake up with various symptoms. Starting from a covered face, speech disorders, loss of vision or body coordination, as well as weakness or numbness in one side of the body.

This condition should not be underestimated and those who experience it must immediately receive medical treatment. The sooner the treatment, the greater the chance to reduce damage to the brain and increase recovery.

A neurologist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Dr Baxter Allen said that most stroke care protocols were based on the first 4.5 hours of symptoms. Late treatment can endanger the patient's condition.

With that, it is necessary to understand that a stroke while waking up requires the same serious attention as other types of strokes. If the patient is treated quickly and appropriately, it can save his life and minimize the bad effects that could occur in the future due to the stroke.
