Maybe you've read an article or just a chain message about first aid for stroke survivors by sticking a needle into the tip of a finger until it bleeds. Don't swallow this information raw and do it. Explained by Dr. Astried Indrasari SpPD, the news is just a hoax and has not been proven true. There is no first aid to prevent stroke by pricking the patient's finger. The right help is to immediately lift carefully and take the patient to the hospital in order to get the right therapy, he stressed. The patient must receive the right therapy to minimize the risk of stroke. If the cause of the patient's fainting is due to a blockage, it is assisted to expedite the blocked blood vessels. Meanwhile, if there is a broken blood vessel, it is prevented so that the broken blood vessel does not get bigger, he said. The Regional General Hospital (RSUD) doctor Abdul Wahab Sjahranie (AWS) said, if you want to prevent a stroke, you must take precautions before blockage or rupture of a blood vessel. Most people don't prevent it from the start, but when something new happens, they get worried and confused, he explained. When the blood vessels are blocked or ruptured, the blood flow in the body will die, so that a person experiences loss of balance. There is no prevention of stroke, which is only therapy so that blockage and rupture of blood vessels does not get worse. Because if left unchecked, it can threaten the patient's life, said Astried
