What are symptoms of a stroke?

·         A symptom of a stroke requires a medical diagnosis

·         Symptoms of a stroke include

·         Trouble walking

·         Difficulty of speech

·         Difficulty of understanding

Other symptoms can include paralysis (the loss of the ability to move/inability to act or function) or numbness of the face, arm, or leg.

What are things people may experience when having a stroke and the after effects?

People may experience:

Muscular disorders such as paralysis with weak muscles, stiff muscles, problems with coordination, overactive reflexes, or even paralysis of one side of the body.

Speech disorders that include difficulty speaking, slurred speech, or tremendous speech loss.

Sensory disorders such as pins and needles or reduced sensation of touch.

Facial and Limb disorders such as muscle weakness or numbness.

Whole body disorders that consist of balance disorder, fatigue, lightheadedness, or lastly vertigo.

The last things people may experience with strokes are visual disorders such as blurred vision, sudden visual loss, double vision, and lastly temporary loss of vision in one eye.

Is a type of brain attack. It can be comparable to heart attacks. That's how serious it is.
Ischemic Stroke- Most strokes are ischemic strokes. This happens when the blood flow through the artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain becomes blocked.
Hemorrhagic Stroke- Happens when an artery in the  brain leeks blood or rupture. The blood leaked blood puts too much pressure on brain cells.

When a weakened blood vessel ruptures and spills blood into brain tissue, it's called a hemorrhagic stroke. The most common cause for the rupture is uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure). There are two other types of weakened blood vessels that can also cause hemorrhagic stroke: aneurysms (swellings within vessels) and arteriovenous malformations or AVMs (abnormal tangles of blood vessels).

Mechanical Treatment

A small tube called a catheter can sometimes be threaded up through a major artery in an arm or leg and guided into the brain tissue, allowing the surgeon to use camera technology to help fix the problem.

Once the catheter is guided to the source of the bleeding, it deposits a mechanical agent, such as a coil, to prevent further rupture.

This type of procedure is endovascular, meaning that the surgeon gains access via the vascular system, making it less invasive than conventional surgical treatment.

Sometimes surgery is required to secure a blood vessel at the base of the aneurysm.

-87% strokes are a Ischemic Stroke.
-Strokes kill 140,000 american's each year, that's 1 out of every 20 deaths
-Strokes cost about $34 billion each year, with the cost of medicines, missed days of work and health care services
- Having a stroke for the first time is nearly twice as high for blacks as for whites, they also have the highest death rate due to stroke.
- 80% of strokes can be prevented

A stroke is a "brain attack". It can happen to anyone at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is cut off. When this happens, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. When brain cells die during a stroke, abilities controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost.

How a person is affected by their stroke depends on where the stroke occurs in the brain and how much the brain is damaged. For example, someone who had a small stroke may only have minor problems such as temporary weakness of an arm or leg. People who have larger strokes may be permanently paralyzed on one side of their body or lose their ability to speak. Some people recover completely from strokes, but more than 2/3 of survivors will have some type of disability.

Stroke By The Numbers

Each year nearly 800,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke.

A stroke happens every 40 seconds.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S.

Every 4 minutes someone dies from stroke.

Up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented.

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the U.S.

Hemorrhagic Stroke

A brain aneurysm burst or a weakened blood vessel leak (hemorrhagic) is one of two types of stroke. While the least common of the two types of stroke it most often results in death.

Ischemic Stroke

A blood vessel carrying blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot (ischemic) is one type of stroke. Learn more about the types of ischemic stroke.

What Is TIA?

When blood flow to part of the brain stops for a short period of time, also called transient ischemic attack (TIA), it can mimic stroke-like symptoms. These appear and last less than 24 hours before disappearing. Learn more about the signs, your risk, and TIA management.
