A stroke is caused when a blood clot or hemorrhage in the brain causes the blood supply to a part of the brain to cut off. It is a very serious medical condition and it needs to be treated immediately. Approximately 150,000 people have a stroke every year in the UK. People over 65 are most at risk of having a stroke. The symptoms and their severity vary from person to person. For some people they can be quite mild, or in more serious cases they might cause permanent damage.
What are the different type of Stroke ?
There are too main types of stroke:
- Ischemic stroke: when a clot blocks an artery that carries blood to the brain.
- Hemorrhagic stroke: when a blood vessel supplying the brain bursts and causes brain damage.
What is a Mini Stroke?
People can also experience a ‘mini-stroke’, or transient ischemic attack (TIA), when the brain’s blood supply is interrupted for a very brief time. The symptoms of a TIA are very similar to a stroke, but only last a few minutes or hours, and then disappear completely.
