Looking at what a Stroke is

Let's look at the basics. Simple put a stroke is a brain attack where parts to the brain are deprived of blood.

The number one type is a blockage or ischemic. Most often referred to as a clot.

Next would be hemorrhagic where blood leaks into the brain flooding that area and under pressure brains cells start to die.

This is all broken down into smaller categories but you don't need to be an expert to get the basics of the event.

Interesting enough the event doesn't hurt. You feel nothing and that's the problem. Whatever the brain attack has interfered with is getting no signals.

The signs leading up the the event however can hurt and in a very big way so knowing the signs and acting immediately could prevent or lesson the effects.
