Wellness Watch May 2016 May is American Stroke Awareness Month. A stroke happens every 40 seconds and every 4 minutes someone dies from a stroke. Each year almost 800,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. In the United States, stroke is the lead-ing cause of adult disability and the 5th leading cause of death. What is a stroke? A stroke is an attack to the brain that occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is cut off. Brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die and the abilities of the body that are controlled by that part of the brain are lost. The location and size of the attack vary greatly and determine how a person is affected. A small stroke may only cause temporary weakness of an arm or leg, where as a large stroke can leave someone permanently paralyzed with loss of speech or movement on one side of the body. What are the symptoms?
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially if it only occurs on one side of the body Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
If a person is experience a stroke they must ask FAST by asking the following questions F- Face, Can you smile? Does one side of the face droop? A-Arms: Can you raise both arms? Does one arm drift downward? S-Speech: Can you repeat a simple phrase? Is your speech slurred or strange? T-Time: if any you answer yes to any of these questions you must call 9-1-1 immediately. Prevention 80% of strokes can be prevented and it is important to know the risk factors and how to reduce risk. High blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, high cholesterol, diabetes and blood circulation problems all increase risk for a stroke. All of these medical conditions can be controlled with medication and a healthy lifestyle. Be sure to discuss with your medical provider about any concerns and changes you are looking to make. Lifestyle factors include maintaining a healthy weight by eating properly and staying active. Refrain from smoking as it doubles the risk of stroke. Limit alcohol intake to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men.

You can meet with The Million Hearts Nurses and our Community Health Workers Tuesday May 10th and Thursday May 26th from 9:30-11:30. So far, there hasn’t been one question our Million Hearts team can’t answer. Sylvia, our Balance and Falls Prevention Specialist will be available to teach some tools to improve your mobility. She can assess your strength and balance and work with you on improvements if necessary. She’ll be at the Kiosk on Thursday April 5th from 9:00-11:30.
The Kiosk is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 – Noon.
Kiosk Exercise classes also take place every Tuesday and Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:30.
We look forward to spending some time with you at the Kiosk!
