The three warning signs of stroke.(oops now they say there are four!!)


The holidays are upon us, and we tend to eat, drink and be merry to excess. Those excess meals loaded with sodium may cause a sudden rise in blood pressure. Try to avoid excess, but also keep an eye on your blood pressure. Do each and every one of you have a blood pressure machine? Good, then use it every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If your pressure is over 140/90 you need to seriously consider better control.

Follow the warning signs below, very simple signs but oh so significant. There are two types of stroke, hemorrhagic and arteriosclerotic. Pop an aspirin if you exhibit the signs below, if you have a bleeding stroke one aspirin will not kill you but if you have a arteriosclerotic stroke, the aspirin may just save your life. If you get any shortness of breath, dizziness or chest pain or pressure, put down that extra helping of pumpkin pie and head to the ER immediately. Get some exercise, but not after eating. Starved coronary arteries will be short on blood supply that will head to the stomach to digest the huge meal you ate. Moderation is the key, and remember laughter is the best medicine!!

Happy Holidays and Feliz Navidad to all!!
