Yeah, we cannot give that injection after four and a half hours from the time the person was lost normal. We cannot do these procedures after a certain number of hours as well. And so if you're coming late, you are also limiting your own options of getting the treatment. So it isn't only identifying the symptoms.

And I know that in the African-American community, there's a lot of experience with stroke. You probably recognize it easy. But then what to do and how fast you got to react to it. is what we need to stress on over and over. And I agree that the financial burden of calling 911 is on everyone's mind. And it's a true barrier. But you have to think of the disability that the stroke can cause.

And then the impact of the disability on a person financially and psychologically and mentally. And so weighing the two together, I think there is no doubt that seeking immediate care when there is a way to go.

Yeah. So stroke prevention is, We talk about the stroke risk factors. What are the conditions that pave the way for having a stroke? There are modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. So a person's age, for example, is a non-modifiable risk factor. Genetics. Yeah, increased risk of stroke with age.

Being a man or a woman, the biological differences can also be their family history is important. But these are a few. Most of the risk factors for stroke are modifiable, are under our control. And that's what we need to talk to people about. High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for stroke.

And that's what we need to talk to people about. High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for stroke.

So knowing what your blood pressure is, having regular checkups with a primary doctor or a primary provider, and also knowing what is high blood pressure, what is normal blood pressure, what number when you get, you feel good, oh, my blood pressure is good, and what number when you get, you feel bad. But this knowledge is important.

But this knowledge is important.

We want people to know that good blood pressure is less than 120 over 80. And every time we check blood pressure, we get two numbers, a top number and the bottom number. The top number is called systolic blood pressure and the bottom diastolic blood pressure. You don't have to remember the names, but you have to know the numbers and what you're aiming for and what your blood pressure is.

And the trick is that blood pressure is silent. People have high blood pressure for years and years. They're not aware of it. It does not give symptoms. Occasionally, sometimes people would get like a headache or something, but for the most part, high blood pressure is silent. And the things that are tied to high blood pressure, like smoking, A huge deal, you know, smoking.

And, you know, in the Midwest, you know, maybe we're a little fortunate, but smoking remains a major issue in terms of smoking, because it's tied to blood pressure. Too much caffeine. Increases blood pressure.

So you have to be careful with how much caffeine you take, especially, you know, energy drinks, all that crazy stuff, you know, a ton of caffeine and also sleep because sleep is related to blood pressure. And it has emerged now as one of the important risk factors for stroke. People with sleep apnea, it's a breathing issue that happens during sleep.
