A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to brain cells dying within minutes. There are three main types of stroke: ischemic (caused by a clot), hemorrhagic (caused by a bleed), and transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a mini-stroke.
High blood pressure, heart disease, smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol are the leading causes of stroke. These factors damage blood vessels, making them more susceptible to clots or ruptures.
Certain risk factors for stroke are beyond your control, such as age (higher risk for those over 55), family history, and gender (men are slightly more likely to have a stroke).
The most effective way to identify a stroke is by using the FAST method:
One side of the face may droop or feel numb
Weakness or numbness in one arm.
Slurred or hard-to-understand speech.
