A stroke is a condition very similar to heart attack, the only difference is that instead of attacking the heart this one attacks the brain, every second after a person has suffer from a stroke a brain cell dies, this doesn't sound terrible since most people know that we have millions of brain cells however, they are all vital for proper functioning of each part of our bodies.

When it comes to strokes there are two different kinds of them, let's take a look at each one:

Ischemic stroke:

When a blood vessel gets obstructed by a cloat the blood which flows into the brain and carries vital oxygen stops to flow into it, as a result the person starts to feel numb, disoriented, starts to have difficulty to communicate with others and several other symptoms may occur, they are mostly triggered by the lack of oxygen that the person's brain is getting. Over 80% of the attacks are attributed to this cause.

Hemorrhagic stroke color

When a blood vessel within the brain ruptures the blood that it carries flows into the surrounding tissue, this is yet another factor that contributes to the triggering a ...
... stroke. Since this blood vessel carried the blood to specific parts of the brain and is no longer doing so, brain cells begin to die because they are not getting enough oxygen.

It is important that patients who have family history of strokes as well as health conditions which may predispose them to suffer from such devastating attack to take some time to get more information about the effects of such dangers as well is getting educated about the symptoms and how to recognize them before they have an actual stroke.

Some of these symptoms are:

-- Sudden falls or lost of balance: these may be quite dangerous because a person may get externally injured which can add to the series of treatments which need to be applied.
-- Blurry or dim vision
-- Speech related problems: when brain cells start to get affected by the lack of oxygen, normal functions become extremely hard to accomplish.
-- Dizziness, numbness, physical weakness, severe headaches as well is tingling in one part of the body are all very obvious signs of a stroke.

Make sure to get educated about these symptoms because waiting for an extended period of time (24 to 48+ hours) may cost you dearly.
