Stroke is caused by impaired blood flow to the brain; Cells die after being deprived of oxygen and other vital nutrients, and the death rate is greater for women, especially after they reach the age of 55, as the risk of infection doubles every ten years.
There are two types of strokes, the first is ischemic, which results from the lack of blood flow to the brain due to the narrowing or blockage of the arteries, and the second is the hemorrhagic, which is due to the occurrence of bleeding in the brain, and both of them lead to the failure of part of the brain to function properly, according to what the site “women daily magazine” reported. “.
Doctors note that stroke is a serious and often fatal condition, and even if otherwise it can leave you paralyzed, severely exhausted, or unable to communicate.
It is almost impossible to detect strokes and many other cardiovascular diseases in time, but the body sometimes sends potential signals that should not be ignored, as follows:
– high blood pressure.
Neck stiffness.
– Severe headache.
Numbness on one side of the body
Neck problems.
Sudden fatigue
Difficulty walking and raising the hands.
Sudden dizziness and weakness in the body.
