WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STROKE ❗️❗️❗️

What is Stroke? 🧠
-> It is the sudden loss of neurological function caused by an interruption of blood flow to the brain.

TWO TYPES OF STROKE

1. Ischemic Stroke
-> This is the most common type. It results when a clot blocks or impairs blood flow, depriving the brain of essential oxygen and nutrients.

2. Hemorrhagic Stroke
-> It occurs when blood vessels rupture causing leakage of blood in or around the brain.

NOTE:
-> Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability among adults.
