People are often apprehensive about cardiac problems. And
the one where it all happens too quick, and to the extent that negligence can
cost you a good life. What if all this could have been avoided?? What if you
could know somehow what is likely to come to you and maybe you could avoid it!!
Let me tell you that your body would give you warning signs as good as a month
before any stroke.
Types of stroke
We just know that if it is stroke, it is a stroke, but
actually there are two types of strokes:
ischemic and
hemorrhagic. When any of the
arteries going to brain are blocked or narrowed making the blood supply suffer,
ischemic stroke is experienced. This type of stroke is usually more seen in
patients.
Hemorrhagic strokes are less common
which usually result due to any bleeding or haemorrhage in brain hereby making
the blood supply suffer. Did you know that stroke is fifth in the list of
causes of death and disability as per a survey in United States.
How it happens?
Stroke is a result
of any kind of rupture, burst or clotting of a blood vessel that carries oxygen
to the brain resulting in suffocation of your brain. As the brain cells are now
oxygen deficit because the blood flow to them has suffered, they start dying.
This result of brain cells dying defines a stroke. Now the brain is an
extremely complex organ which controls almost everything that happens inside our
body. If, due to stroke, blood isn’t able to reach a particular part affecting
proper functioning of some body organ, then that part wont function efficiently
and in worst cases even cease to function.
Warning Signs
It is of the utmost importance to be able to recognise
the warning signs of a stroke and seek medical assistance as soon as possible
to avoid or reduce any serious damage to your brain. With this the risk of any
disability or worse can be avoided and
also the chances of recovery brightened. According to medical experts these
signs may differ from person to person with variation in signs and their
amplitudes. Also the type of stroke and the part likely to be damaged plays a
significant role in issuing these warning signs to you. But the one common
thing which is observed is that these signs tend to begin suddenly.
