Stroke Signs

There are many signs to a stroke that people need to be aware of and need to pay attention to. If you start going blind or have weird fellings in your face or body that aren't normal that could be a sign of a stroke. Strokes happen when your brain doesn't get enough blood and it dies.

# Clogged vessel or ischemic stroke: Caused by blockage of a blood vessel in the brain, usually by a blood clot or by fatty deposits on the vessel wall. 85% of strokes are ischemic. # Burst vessel or hemorrhagic stroke: Caused by a ruptured blood vessel, preventing normal flow and allowing blood to leak into brain tissue, destroying it. This occurs in 15% of strokes.
