Business Description

A stroke is a medical emergency. Prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.

The good news is that strokes can be treated and prevented, and many fewer die of stroke now than in the past.

Symptoms
Trouble with speaking and understanding.
Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg
Trouble with seeing in one or both eyes
Headache
Trouble with walking
Causes
A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Some people may experience only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain (transient ischemic attack, or TIA) that doesn’t cause permanent damage.

Ischemic stroke
Thrombotic stroke
Embolic stroke

Hemorrhagic stroke
Intracerebral hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) — sometimes known as a ministroke — is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those you’d have in a stroke. A temporary decrease in blood supply to part of your brain causes TIAs, which may last as little as five minutes.

Risk factors
Lifestyle risk factors
Being overweight or obese
Physical inactivity
Heavy or binge drinking
Use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamines
Medical risk factors
Blood pressure readings higher than 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
Cigarette smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke
High cholesterol
Diabetes
Obstructive sleep apnea
Cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, heart defects, heart infection or abnormal heart rhythm
Personal or family history of stroke, heart attack or transient ischemic attack.
Complications
A stroke can sometimes cause temporary or permanent disabilities, depending on how long the brain lacks blood flow and which part was affected. Complications may include:

Paralysis or loss of muscle movement
Difficulty talking or swallowing
Memory loss or thinking difficulties
Emotional problems
Pain
Changes in behavior and self-care ability
