helpful information
What is a stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel bursts, causing brain cells to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to serious brain damage, disability, or even death. Strokes are a medical emergency that require immediate attention. Common warning signs include sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, vision problems, dizziness, and severe headache. Recognizing the signs early and seeking prompt medical care can save lives and improve recovery outcomes.
