What is a Brain Stroke?

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and potential complications.

There are two main types of stroke:

• Ischemic Stroke: Caused by a blocked artery (blood clot) obstructing blood flow to brain tissue.
• Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (aneurysm rupture or high blood pressure).

Common Symptoms (BE-FAST)

• Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination.
• Eyes: Sudden loss of vision or double vision.
• Face: Facial drooping or numbness on one side.
• Arms: Arm weakness or numbness on one side.
• Speech: Slurred speech or difficulty understanding speech.
• Time: Immediate emergency medical care is needed within the golden hour.
