HOW DOES ONE DEVELOP STROKE?



A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or deficient. This deprives your brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause your brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).About 50% of all stroke cases can be prevented if the risk factors are well managed.It can happen to anyone at anytime and any period of your life
How a person is affected by their stroke depends on where the stroke occurs in the brain and how much the brain is destroyed. For example, someone who had a small stroke may only have minor problems such as temporary weakness of an arm or leg. People who have larger strokes may be permanently paralyzed on one side of their body or lose their ability to speak. Some people recover completely from strokes, but more than 2/3 of survivors will have some type of disability and Others die.Stoke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death,hence more education should be done.
