“Grasping Stroke: Essential Insights into a Major Health Risk.”
A stroke, also known as a ‘brain attack,’ occurs when the blood flow to the brain is disrupted, depriving it of oxygen and essential nutrients.
This disruption can lead to severe consequences, including permanent brain damage or even death.
Recognizing stroke symptoms is crucial, as prompt action can mean the difference between recovery and lasting harm. Symptoms may include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, particularly on one side of the body; confusion, difficulty speaking, or understanding speech; sudden vision problems in one or both eyes; severe headache with no apparent cause; and difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.
