Ischemic Stroke
A ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked. This blockage is usually caused by the formation of blood clots or fatty deposits. When the blood cannot reach the part of the brain, that area does not get enough oxygen, and the brain cells start dying within minutes.
This is the most common type of stroke, which is about 85% of all strokes. This can occur suddenly and requires attention to quick therapy. The main signs include sudden weakness or numbness (especially on one side of the body), difficulty speaking or understanding, vision problems, dizziness, or sudden severe headache.
Ischemic stroke is a medical emergency. The faster a person is treated, the better recovery is achieved. Doctors often give a special drug to do a procedure to dissolve or remove it. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is important to manage high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol and avoid smoking and unhealthy eating habits.
