What is Stroke? What are the types of stroke? what are the Symptoms for stroke?😨😱😲😲 see below ðŸ‘‡ in detail.....
👉#Stroke?
Stroke is an abrupt interruption of constant blood flow to the #brain that causes loss of #neurological function. The interruption of blood flow can be caused by a blockage, leading to the more common #ischemic stroke, or by bleeding in the #brain, leading to the more deadly #hemorrhagic stroke. #Ischemic #stroke constitutes an estimated 80 percent of all #stroke cases. #Stroke may occur suddenly, sometimes with little or no warning, and the results can be devastating.
Types of #Stroke?
#Ischemic Stroke:
#Ischemic stroke is by far the most common type of stroke, accounting for a large majority of strokes. There are two types of ischemic stroke: #thromboticand #embolic. A #thrombotic stroke occurs when a blood clot, called a #thrombus, blocks an artery to the #brain and stops blood flow. An #embolic stroke occurs when a piece of plaque or thrombus travels from its original site and blocks an artery downstream. The material that has moved is called an #embolus. How much of the #brain is damaged or affected depends on exactly how far downstream in the artery the blockage occurs.
#Hemorrhagic Stroke
A #hemorrhagic stroke can be caused by #hypertension, rupture of an aneurysm or vascular #malformation or as a complication of #anticoagulationmedications. An #intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when there is bleeding directly into the #brain tissue, which often forms a clot within the brain. A subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when the bleeding fills the #cerebrospinalfluid spaces around the #brain. Both conditions are very serious.
#Transient Ischemic Attack (#TIA)
A #TIA is a temporary cerebrovascular event that leaves no permanent damage. Most likely an artery to the #brain is temporarily blocked, causing #stroke-like symptoms, but the blockage dislodges before any permanent damage occurs.
#Stroke Symptoms
Warning signs may include some or all of the following symptoms, which are usually sudden:
Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting
Unusually severe #headache
#Confusion, #disorientation or #memory loss
Numbness, weakness in an arm, leg or the face, especially on one side
Abnormal or slurred speech
Difficulty with comprehension
Loss of vision or difficulty seeing
Loss of balance, coordination or the ability to walk
