When stroke strikes

 

Someone suffering from stroke may resemble a drunk person .  In severe cases, he may fall into unconsciousness.  If you suspect someone is having a stroke, get a medical help immediately.  While waiting for the help, and if the victim is conscious, lay the person down with the head and shoulders slightly raised ( use pillows or cushions) Lay the victim on the weak side so that the saliva can drain from the mouth.  Loosen clothing at the neck, chest, and waist.  If necessary, restore breathing by mouth to mouth resuscitation.  Assure the victim that help is on the way.  Do not offer anything to eat or drink.

If the victim becomes unconscious, put him in recovery position to prevent anything ( blood, saliva or tongue) from blocking the windpipe and choking the victim.  Careful roll the victim  to his stomach, the arm and leg on one side straight beside his body, the other arm and leg bent to prop up the upper and lower body.  Tilt the victim's chin back to straighten the throat.

Good thing about ice

Do you like Iced Tea? It satisfied my thirst with lots of ice on it. Do you know that there are many uses of ice? This will ease the pain of those who are experiencing pain in different parts of the body. The best way to cool down an acute flare up is with ice. it will help reduce swelling and strain on your back muscles. You can put an ice pack on the pain site and massage the spot for seven to eight minutes. Do this for two to three days.

Use an ice pack to treat any injury that might lead to a bruise. The ice pack must be applied as quickly as possible following the injury and treatment continued for twenty four hours, if you suspect that the bump will likely to progress into a severe bruise. Apply it for fifteen minutes interval.  Don't apply heat between ice packs, instead let the skin warm it naturally.  Cooling constricts  the blood vessels, and that means less blood spills into the tissues to cause that big black splotch.  Cold pack can minimize the redness and swelling of the affected area. This won't hurt much  as the bruise left unchilled. After 24 hours, it is time to apply heat, on the area to dilate the blood vessels and improve the circulation.


One way to refresh tired feet is to wrap a few ice cubes in a cloth, then rub it the entire feet and ankles for a few minutes. Ice acts to relieve any inflammation and it serves as a mild anesthetic. Then dry your feet and apply some alcohol, cologne or vinegar (foul odor) for cooling and drying effect.
