TV doctor Alexander Myasnikov, as part of the program “About the Most Important Thing,” spoke about popular myths about stroke.
It is generally believed that men and women over 40 usually face the disease. This is not true. The disease is getting younger.
Therefore, children and young people cannot be excluded from the risk group, since they may also have a disruption in the blood supply to the brain.
The specialist also stated that there is an opinion that the disease permanently destroys the brain's work. This is not true. A person can recover and return to normal life. In this case, it is important to take into account the body's reserves and the complexity of the case.
Another myth is that if you have frequent headaches, the risk of an attack increases. But here you need to consider that pain can be of different types.
In addition, the doctor refuted the misconception that ear piercing can save a person from a stroke.
