Dear viewers before we begin I want to ask you a very sincere question If right now while you're alone at home you suddenly feel dizzy and have trouble speaking If one of your limbs becomes weak what would you do first Get up and look for the phone Call someone Or just manage to think a familiar phrase in your head "It'll be okay right " The truth is that strokes are frightening because they give no warning It can come when you're watching TV in the evening cleaning in the morning or even right when you wake up And the most heartbreaking part is that many strokes occur when the victim is alone No one was there to catch them to call for help or to provide immediate assistance Imagine for a moment the house was as quiet as usual But only for a moment the body began to betray itself Eyes darkened tongue stiffened hands dropped the object they were holding My legs wanted to stand up but no longer obeyed I wanted to scream but could not make a sound This is the life-or-death moment that many people have experienced And not everyone gets the chance to return and tell about it I'm not saying this to make you afraid I want you to know that we are not completely helpless Because in those first few seconds if done correctly You can maintain your alertness for a very valuable period of time Just a few more seconds a few minutes that's all The opportunity for timely rescue has changed a lot In today's video I will share with you an extremely important set of survival skills Designed specifically for situations where someone is alone at home and has a stroke First are the fundamental steps according to medical standards to save lives And especially I will guide you through three acupoints that are very easy to remember anyone can press them by themselves just in the first 20 seconds Help the brain from shutting down immediately I would like to make it clear from the start This is not a treatment for stroke and should not replace a doctor but it may be a small float that helps you stay alert longer Enough to call for emergency help enough to open the door enough to wait for someone to come and help And here I want to connect with you for a moment How old are you this year Where are you currently living in a city or hometown Please leave a comment below For example 68 years old in Hanoi or 72 years old in Quang Nam If you are living alone please add the two words "alone" at the end Your comments not only help me understand the audience better but also help many other people realize they are not alone And I'd like to reveal to you at the end of the video I will share a little tip but it is extremely important in helping to ensure timely emergency care when alone at home Something that many elderly people have never heard anyone say If you find this information truly necessary for yourself and your family Please subscribe to the channel and click the bell notification Each new video is a layer of self-defense knowledge So that when needed you will not panic and know what to do And please watch until the end By simply remembering a few simple things today who knows perhaps one day these very things will give you another chance to live Dear viewers to understand why the first 20 seconds can make the difference between having a chance or not First we need to understand what a stroke is and why it is so dangerous Stroke occurs when blood cannot supply the brain as usual Our brain although it only makes up a very small part of the body's weight But it consumes a lot of oxygen and nutrients Just a disruption in that blood flow the brain will immediately be starved of oxygen And when the brain is starved of oxygen nerve cells begin to be damaged very quickly There are two common types of stroke One is cerebral thrombosis when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the brain The second is cerebral hemorrhage when a blood vessel bursts and blood leaks out Whether it is in any form the common factor is the brain being deprived of oxygen and that is why strokes are extremely dangerous You may have heard someone say that a stroke hits you and you fall down immediately In reality that's not always the case In many cases the body remains alert in the nerves but strange sensations begin to appear Dizziness weak hands Speak clearly eyes open This brief moment is when we can still do something for ourselves The issue is that when alone at home many people don't realize it's a dangerous sign Some think it's because of tiredness Lower blood pressure Someone tried to get up to find the phone and fell Some people waited a few minutes to see if it got better And those wasted moments cost valuable time Remember one very important thing the brain does not wait for anyone Every minute that passes with a lack of blood flow millions of nerve cells can be permanently damaged And these cells cannot return to their original state That is why even though it's a stroke some people who receive timely treatment recover well Some people leave behind severe consequences So why do we emphasize the first 20 seconds Because in these seconds Even though a stroke has begun the body has not completely shut down the heart is still beating and the brain is still receiving a very small amount of oxygen The nervous system can still react If we know how to keep the body stable and apply the right stimulation Then it can extend alertness a bit more And that little bit is actually precious Adding a few more seconds could be enough to dial for emergency help Adding another minute could be enough to state the address Adding two minutes could be enough to get the medical staff to open the door In a stroke just one correct action can make a difference The chance for survival has changed a lot Here I want to clearly emphasize to you so that you understand correctly There are no home remedies that can cure a stroke Stroke treatment must be done in a hospital With doctors medicine and intensive interventions But while there is no doctor present We can still do things that prevent the brain from deteriorating too quickly In other words What I share in this video is not magic It's survival skills Like when you encounter a fire You know to lower your body to avoid the smoke When falling into water you know to turn your face up to breathe And when a stroke occurs while you're alone You need to know what to do in the first few seconds Right now I will guide you through the basic steps according to medical standards that anyone Especially the elderly should also remember These are more important steps than pressing acupoints If the foundation is not properly established then other forms of support will also struggle to be effective Please listen carefully By the things that are to come they may one day save your lives Dear viewers the first and most important step when suspecting a stroke occurs while alone at home Stop all movement immediately and assume a safe position It may sound simple but this step is where many people Make a dangerous mistake When the first symptoms appear such as dizziness limbs become weak difficulty speaking eyes open Slow reflexes our natural reflex is to get up some try to find their phone others try to open the door Some people struggled to step outside and call the neighbors But ladies and gentlemen that is a very dangerous reaction Because at this moment Blood flow to the brain has decreased the ability to maintain balance has noticeably worsened A single misstep You can fall and hit your head on the floor on the step against the table or against the wall And then The condition will be twice as dangerous having suffered a stroke and a head injury Therefore as soon as any abnormality is felt The thing you need to do is sit down or lie down right where you are Don't try to take another step If you are standing Lean against the wall or chair slowly lower yourself down If you are in the living room sit close to the chair close to the sofa If you are in the kitchen or outside choose a flat surface keep away from knives cooking fire and sharp objects Then sit or lie on your side What is a safe position If you can still sit lean back while sitting Avoid touching the ground with your feet to avoid falling If you feel unsteady lie on your side Avoid lying on your back right away because in a stroke vomiting or regurgitation may occur Lying on the back can cause choking Lying on the side is safer for the airway and reduces the risk of inhaling fluid Please remember This is not the time to try to appear strong Stroke is not just regular tiredness Trying hard now is not courage But it puts you at greater risk Sitting down or lying down does not make you weaker but is protecting your own life Another very important benefit of stopping movement early is that it helps the brain conserve energy When standing up moving around Tim phải làm việc nhiều hơn blood pressure can suddenly increase causing further brain damage Conversely when in a safe position The body is relieved of fatigue the blood flows better to the brain and it helps extend the time of alertness I want you to remember this very clearly Step one is not to make a phone call it is not to press a point But it means sitting down or lying down immediately If this step is done incorrectly the following steps may no longer have a chance to be performed Right now When you are still healthy try to practice it in your mind Where will you sit down if you are standing Where will you lie down if you are in the kitchen Just do it once in the beginning when the time comes the body will do it automatically Once you are in a safe position We can then move on to the second step which is to keep the airway open the next critical factor in a stroke Step two keep the airway clear Dear guests after you have safely sat down or lay down The next important thing to do right away is to keep the airway clear It may sound very basic but in reality Many critical cases deteriorate because of blocked airways When a stroke occurs The nervous system can experience temporary dysfunction This makes it difficult to swallow and difficult to control saliva Even possibly vomiting If you are lying on your back at this time fluid in the mouth or stomach can easily flow back into the throat Coughing choking the brain already lacking oxygen if it loses more oxygen due to blocked airway the condition will worsen very quickly So if you are lying down remember to turn to one side without tilting too much Just enough so that if there is saliva or if it flows ou If you are sitting keep your head slightly bent forward absolutely do not tilt your neck backward Lifting your head at this time can cause the airway to become blocked increasing the risk of choking Next loosen your clothing Unbutton the collar pull down the turtleneck remove the scarf loosen the belt if it's tight The purpose is not for comfort but to allow the heart and stomach to have space to relax helping the breath to flow more easily When breathing becomes easier the brain receives more oxygen even a little bit is very valuable One important thing I want to emphasize is Don't try to drink water don't try to eat and don't try to swallow any medicine right now Many people think that drinking a little water to stay awake Or taking blood pressure medication may help more But during a stroke the swallowing reflex may be impaired A small blister can cause choking suffocation or even be immediately dangerous Remember Breathing is the most important after that eating and drinking can wait You should not try to speak too much if you feel your mouth and tongue are hard to control Speaking when the body is not ready can make you more tired and breathe more rapidly At this time the top priority is to maintain even breathing and well-ventilated I want you to understand that in the midst of chaos there are things that seem very small but are life-or-death decisions Keeping the airway open It is one of them It's like lighting an oil lamp if the wick is clogged no matter how much oil there is It also cannot burn The brain is the same it cannot function without oxygen Therefore after you have sat or lay down safely Please remind yourself internally Stop lower your head slightly loosen your clothes do not drink water Just remember these four things You have protected a vital element for the body When the airway is secure breathing has become relatively stable At that time we moved on to the third step which is to remember the time and call for emergency help immediately The decisive step to get a doctor there in time Step three remember the time the symptoms started and call for emergency help immediately Dear viewers After assuming a safe position and keeping the airway clear the next life-saving step is to remember the time Start experiencing symptoms and call emergency services immediately In a stroke time is life I want you to remember this clearly The doctor not only needs to know that you had a stroke but also needs to know exactly when the stroke started Nghẹ seems small But this information directly affects the subsequent treatment There are intervention methods that can only be applied for a certain period of time If you arrive late even the most skilled doctor cannot help Therefore as soon as you notice the signs The first abnormality is difficulty speaking facial drooping weak arms and legs wide eyes dizziness you should suspect in your mind at that time For example around 8:15 a m or right after dinner If you can see a clock or a phone remember the number Just remember that even a rough memory is valuable After memorizing the time the next thing to do immediately is to call Emergency number 115 Please do not panic do not call family members first Many people are worried about informing their children and grandchildren But lose a few minutes and the jewel Family members can arrive later but the ambulance must be called first If the hand can still move Please dial 115 and turn on the speaker When the operator answers the call you don't need to speak at length Just speak clearly Please slowly provide the following information I think I'm having a stroke address age time when the symptoms started Just a few short sentences like that It is enough for them to understand and drive immediately While speaking if you feel tired you can take a breath Then continue no need to rush The most important thing is the address must be accurate If it's an apartment building be clear about the floor and unit number If at home say the street name house number ward or commune if remembered Then keep the phone next to you because medical staff You can call back to ask more I also want to mention something very important Don't drive yourself don't try to call a taxi to go to the hospital In a seizure the ability to control limbs and reflexes can suddenly decrease It is very easy to cause accidents for yourself and others Ambulances have medical staff have support equipment while en route That is the safest choice If you feel anxious tell yourself in your head I have called for emergency help they are coming Just a simple reminder like that can help maintain a more stable mindset and prevent panic Panic causes the heart to beat faster High blood pressure worsens the condition I want you to remember this step very well Remember the time call a doctor right away Speak briefly and clearly This is the only bridge between you and timely medical intervention Doing this step well You have opened the door to survival for yourself After calling for emergency help and waiting for medical personnel to arrive The next thing to do is keep the body calm and the breath steady And that is step four I will share it right after this Step 4 Regulate your breathing Stay calm to maintain alertness Dear viewers after you have sat or lay down safely Keep the airway open and call for emergency help the next thing you need to do is stay calm and regulate your breathing It seems simple but in a crisis it is a life- saving skill When a critical situation arises The natural human reaction is panic Rapid heartbeat shortness of breath the mind goes blank But ladies and gentlemen Panic does not help and only makes the situation worse When the heart beats too fast and breathing is rapid the body consumes more oxygen while the brain is lacking oxygen This causes the brain to tire more quickly and to fall into a coma sooner Therefore What you need to do right now is to take a proactive step to slow down your breathing No complicated techniques are needed Just a very simple method that anyone can do Please inhale through your nose slowly counting 1 2 3 in your head Then hold your breath for a short moment Then exhale through the mouth more slowly counting 1 2 3 4 in your head Repeat this breathing rhythm several times Each time you breathe like that your body gradually calms down Your heart rate slows and your blood pressure stops rising so sharply They are not receiving oxygen evenly but even though it's not much it is very valuable You can clearly feel it just after a few breaths The feeling of panic will subside While breathing you should also remind yourself with very short sentences For example I called for an ambulance they are on their way Stay calm breathe evenly These words help the mind from going into a panic Stay alert for longer Another important thing is don't try to force your body or struggle Some people out of fear try to move forcefully trying to sit up constantly changing their position This causes the body to expend energy Faster energy is not beneficial when the brain is deprived of blood Let the body remain still focus on the breath If during this process you feel nauseous or have excessive saliva keep the tilted position as mentioned in the previous step Breathing while allowing the secretion to drain out No need to worry too much maintaining a clear airway is always the priority You need to understand that In a stroke not always can we do many things but just keeping calm and breathing evenly You have helped the brain avoid being overwhelmed too soon There are cases where people faint more quickly due to panic whereas if they stay calm They can stay alert for a very valuable few minutes I want you to remember a simple statement like this once the emergency services have been called Now it's about breathing and waiting Just stick to that phrase breathe in the correct rhythm and you are helping yourself a lot When we have stabilized our breathing and are relatively calm mentally we will move on to step five It is about trying to get attention within the capacity to increase the chances of timely assistance while transporting the ambulance Step 5 try to attract attention within reach to increase the chance of getting help Dear guests after assuming a safe position Keep the airway open call for emergency help and regulate breathing to stay calm the next step is also the final step in basic first aid group It is trying to draw attention within the allowed capacity This step is not always mandatory but in many cases it can double the chances They will be assisted in a timely manner You need to understand that even if you have called 115 an ambulance does not always arrive immediately It may take a few minutes possibly a bit longer depending on the distance and traffic conditions If during that time Some people around may know your condition they can help open the door keep you safe or assist medical staff when the vehicle arrives If you can still move your hand try doing simple but effective tasks For example if you are near the main door Please unlock the door or leave it slightly open This is very important as there are many cases where medical staff arrive at the location But could not enter the house in time because the door was locked If you could open the door early you would have saved a lot of valuable time If you cannot open the door you can make noise by gently tapping on the wall floor and furniture with your hands Or with something nearby No need to be strong just steady and continuous If there is a window nearby You can wave your hand or tap lightly on the window frame to attract the attention of neighbors or passersby In case you still have a phone besides calling for emergency help send a very short message to a family member or a close neighbor Just a few words For example I think I'm having a stroke I called 115 at home number No long explanations Just report the situation and location Sometimes a short message is the lifeline that saves a life However I want to emphasize something very important Do not try to move far to find someone to help Do not try to go outside Do not try to climb the stairs Don't try to open the gate and step onto the road When the ghost is happening the risk of falling is very high and even one fall can It makes the situation much worse Draw attention within the safe area right here Don't be afraid to bother others In this situation your life is more important than anything else Knock on the door shout out Asking for help is not a weakness but a wise decision I want you to remember this step with a short sentence Stay still open the door if possible and signal Just doing one of these three things you have added an extra layer of safety I took care of myself while driving the ambulance Therefore we have gone through five essential first aid steps that are extremely important when a sudden illness occurs It happened when I was alone at home These five steps are the first line of defense to protect your network And now I will share with you Continue with you the acupoints that help maintain alertness for the first 20 seconds to provide initial first aid It has just had more time to take effect The first point the central pillar the button that awakens helps the brain not to shut down immediately Dear viewers that was the first 5 basic first aid steps to save a life These 5 steps are essential to perform It is the life-saving life jacket that protects you when a ghost appears while you are alone at home And only after you have correctly followed those steps can we say To the acupoint for support I emphasize this so that you understand correctly Acupressure does not replace first aid Do not replace a doctor But if done at the right time it can help keep you alert a little longer And in emergencies Even a few extra seconds is extremely precious Now let's start with the first acupoint And most importantly everyone should remember That is the human center point Please try raising your hand to your face I'm doing it right now Just below the nose between the nose and upper lip there is a small groove that we call I still see it every day when I look in the mirror That dimple in the middle of the groove is the location of the philtrum This is a very easy point to find no need to study much no need to remember complicated things Since ancient times when someone fainted Many people instinctively press the philtrum to help the person regain consciousness This is not superstition The governing point of the human body is directly related to the central nervous system When subjected to sufficient impact It creates a stimulus that prevents the brain from shutting down too quickly Therefore in a situation suspected of sudden cardiac arrest How to correctly stimulate the human central point It's very simple you use your index finger or thumb Press firmly into the renzhong point hold for 5 to 10 seconds then release Take a short break and then press again this can be repeated several times as needed When pressed you should feel a clear discomfort If you just touch lightly it will not have any effect You can imagine it this way to make it easier to remember Like when you knock on a door knocking lightly won't be heard As long as you apply enough force the person inside will know The Renzhong acupoint is the same you need to apply enough force for the brain to receive the signal The effect of pressing the Yintang point in sudden death is not to cure it is like a wake-up call elp the brain to no longer maintain alertness for a short period enough for you to continue breathing evenly and to continue staying calm and most importantly maintaining contact with emergency services Many people have shared that by pressing the Hegu point They did not become too confused too quickly still had enough clarity to say the address open the door or wait for someone to come and help And that alone has made a huge difference I want you to remember this well the philtrum is right under the nose Press firmly hold for a few seconds repeat This is the first point the easiest to remember And should be used immediately when there are warning signs after ensuring the basic first aid steps However I also understand that In a critical situation your hands may tremble and your mind may falter so you may not always accurately locate the correct point on the face So what if at that moment you need an even easier way just by looking down at your own hands what then Right after this I will share with you a special group of acupoints located right at the fingertips Very convenient very easy to press and especially useful in life -threatening moments This is the second acupoint for the elderly You must know this when you are alone at home The second point the ten points the points on the ten fingertips help to keep the brain alert Dear viewers we just talked about the Renzhong point the point located just below the nose which acts as a switch to awaken the body It prevents the brain from shutting down immediately But I clearly understand one thing in a critical situation the hands may tremble The mind can deceive but it is not always easy to accurately identify a small spot on your face What if there was an even easier way just by looking down at your hands And that's why I want to introduce you to the second point the Shixuan point Its name may sound strange But in reality the Shuigou point is very familiar "Shi" means ten and "Gou" means the mouth or opening This means that this acupoint is located at the tips of our ten fingers Please look at your own hand At the tip of each finger exactly at the center of the fingertip slightly towards the palm That is the location of the acupoint Each finger has an acupoint Together they form 10 points collectively known as the ten points The biggest advantage of this point is that it is very easy to remember and very easy to perform No need for a mirror no need to check no need for absolute accuracy In an emergency _ Just touching the fingertip is almost accurate enough The method is very simple You can use Hold your own hand or use a pen a pencil a jacket or anything nearby Press it against the tip of your finger and press firmly for 3 to 5 seconds then release Do this one finger at a time From the index finger to the little finger If you have the strength do both hands If you are too tired just a few fingers will do The important thing is that the force must be strong enough to feel a bit of a sharp pain Do not be afraid of the pain The sharp pain in the finger lasted only a few seconds but it could help keep them alert for a few more minutes In a stroke those few minutes are worth more than anything else What is the effect of the Shixuan acupoint According to traditional Chinese medicine experience Press the acupoint to promote the flow of qi and blood This helps temporarily improve blood circulation If explained in an easier way You can imagine it like this When the blood vessels in the brain become blocked it's like the main road is jammed e stimulation of the fingertips is like opening up small pathways that allow blood to circulate around the brain That way the brain does not become deprived of oxygen too quickly Perhaps you have seen when someone faints Some people press hard on their fingertips even in the old days there were tricks to draw out a few drops of blood Today we don't need to inject just pressing firmly in the right way is enough for safety I want you all to remember this easily The central point on the face the ten points on the hand When the hand is still functional pressing the ten points is very convenient And in many cases It is this finger tip cutting that helps the patient from becoming too confused too quickly remaining conscious to breathe regularly To wait for emergency assistance And if you think that pressing just at the tip of the finger is not enough you want to have an additional acupoint It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand extremely easy to find and now I will share the third acupoint This point is located between the thumb and the index finger Many people have had it pressed without ever knowing its name This is the Hegu point the final supporting point but also very important in the three survival hour points When a stroke occurs while alone at home The third point Hegu the support in the center of the palm Help you stay alert for that precious minute Dear viewers that means we have passed the human central point On the face and the ten fingertips there are acupoints These two acupoints are very important but I would like to share more with you Another extremely memorable point located right in the center of the palm just by looking down you can see it That is the Hegu point Please look at your hands right now Between the thumb and the index finger when you bring the two fingers together It will appear as a V-shaped depression This depression is the location of the Hegu point This is the acupoint that many people have had pressed when they had headaches fatigue and dizziness but not everyone knows its name The biggest advantage of the Hegu point is that it is very easy to locate You don't need to be precise down to the millimeter just find the correct depression between the thumb and index finger and the finger was almost on the spot In a critical moment when the mind is in chaos This simplicity is extremely valuable The method of pressing the hegu point is also very easy You use the index finger of this hand Press firmly on the Hegu point of the other hand press down and hold for 5-10 seconds then release Take a short break and continue pressing You can switch hands to press both sides if you still have strength When pressed correctly You will feel a clear discomfort If you don't feel any discomfort it may be that the point is not correct Gently move your fingers until you feel that sensation What are the benefits of pressing the Hegu point during a stroke According to traditional Chinese medicine this acupoint helps regulate the flow of qi and blood throughout the body relieves stiffness and reduces dizziness Otherwise to put it simply pressing the acupoint is like turning on a secondary switch helping the nervous system receive additional signals As a result blood circulation temporarily improves allowing the brain to get more oxygen to stay alert Many people say tha When pressed they felt more comfortable their heads were less heavy and their bodies were less hazy In a stroke that sense of clarity is the precious time to continue breathing evenly to remain calm And most importantly waiting for the ambulance to arrive Remember this well Press firmly just below the nose fingertip thump thumb and index finger web These three points form a trio that supports the generation and reduction of energy No medicine is needed no tools just your hands and calmness I would like to repeat once again to avoid any misunderstanding These three acupoints do not treat stroke But if done correctly They can help maintain alertness for a few more minutes right after performing the basic first aid steps And in a stroke Just a few minutes can determine whether there is an opportunity or not Right now while you are still healthy Please try touching the Hegu point press lightly to remember the location then ask yourself a very simple question If by chance you are alone at home Did you remember to press it If the answer is yes then you have given yourself another chance to live Right after that I will summarize the entire 5 basic first aid steps and 3 supporting acupoints So that you only need to remember once and it will be enough for a lifetime Dear valued customers up to this point let's take a moment to repeat slowly together It is very clear what is most important Because in the case of a stroke you don't need to remember much Just remembering the right and sufficient information can make a difference The first is the five basic first aid steps prioritize life First stop all movement immediately sit down or lie on your side in a safe position Second keep the airway clear Bowing forward loosening the clothing do not drink water Father remembers the time of onset and calls for emergency help immediately Four is to regulate your breathing stay calm breathe slowly and evenly to give the brain more oxygen Five is to find a way to attract attention In case of an opening signal and send a distress message These five steps are the first white flag If these five steps are not done correctly Then all other support measures cannot be effective Afterwards once those fundamental aspects are ensured Please remember to add three supporting acupoints like three small floats that help maintain alertness for longer The first acupoint is the philtrum Located right under the nose press firmly to awaken the brain The second acupoint is the Ten Convergences located at the tips of the ten fingers It is very easy to do when the hand is still movable The third acupoint is Hegu located between the thumb and index finger Press firmly to aid circulation and reduce shock Remember it clearly in your mind Five steps to keep the network alive three acupoints to buy time No medicine needed no tools required just stay calm and remember the correct order I would like to emphasize once again to avoid any misunderstandings Acupuncture cannot cure a stroke A stroke must be treated in a hospital But what you just heard today It can help keep a few precious minutes to call for emergency help to open the door to wait for the doctor And in the midst of the crisis Just a few
