Stroke

Understanding Stroke:

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, causing damage. It comes in two types: blocked arteries (ischemic) or burst blood vessels (hemorrhagic).

Recognizing Symptoms:

Stroke symptoms can appear suddenly and should never be ignored. If you or someone you know experiences any of these signs, act FAST:

Face Drooping: One side of the face may droop or feel numb. Ask the person to smile to check for unevenness.
Arm Weakness: One arm may become weak or numb. Ask the person to raise both arms to see if one drifts downward.
Speech Difficulty: Speech may be slurred or difficult to understand. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence to check for clarity.
Time to Call Emergency Services: If any of these symptoms are present, even if they go away, call emergency services immediately. Time lost is brain lost.

Quick action can make a significant difference in the outcome of a stroke. Stay informed and act promptly to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Risk Factors:

High blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and inactivity increase stroke risk. Knowing your risks can save lives.
