In chronic disorders of cerebral circulation, there are no specific changes, there are common features that are also characteristic of other diseases. These include headaches, dizziness, weakness, tinnitus, memory loss, concentration, visual acuity. When such symptoms appear, you should definitely consult a doctor so that he can conduct an examination, establish a diagnosis and prescribe treatment, ”she said.

If these signs are present, you should immediately call an ambulance.
