Spring fatigue syndrome is a condition marked by a combination of fatigue, sleepiness, reduced appetite, and difficulty concentrating during the spring season.

It usually improves on its own within a few weeks and can be managed with exercise, a regular routine, and a balanced diet. However, fatigue that persists regardless of season may have a different cause, so please consult a medical specialist in that case.2026-06-26

Stroke
#stroke, #dementia, #vascular dementia, #high blood pressure, #snoring, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body
Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. A blocked blood vessel is called a cerebral infarction, and a ruptured one is called a cerebral hemorrhage. If symptoms appear, going to the emergency room immediately is the most important way to reduce aftereffects. Stroke is also closely related to dementia. The main symptom of stroke is the loss of a specific bodily function, such as paralysis of the arms or legs. The most important factor in treatment is the golden time (the critical time window for treatment), so please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis. If abnormal symptoms appear, call 119 (Korea's emergency number) or go to the emergency room immediately.2026-06-26
