Understanding Stroke: What You Need to Know

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot, bursts or ruptures. In these situations, part of the brain cannot get the blood or oxygen it needs, so the brain cells die. This is called an ischemic stroke, and is the most common type of stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and spills blood into nearby tissues.

Identifying the Causes of Stroke

Strokes affect your ability to move, speak, eat, remember, control your bowel and bladder, control your emotions, and control other bodily functions.

Some of the major risk factors for a stroke include:

• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Heart and blood vessel diseases
• High LDL cholesterol levels
• Smoking
• Viral infections.

Recognizing Stroke Symptoms: Seek Immediate Help

Symptoms of strokes include:

• Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, leg, or on one side of the body
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination
• Sudden blurry vision in one or both eyes

If you believe you are having a stroke, it is important to seek treatment immediately in order to prevent brain damage. When you arrive at Quality Care ER for stroke treatment, we will work to both treat your ongoing stroke and work to prevent future strokes from occurring.
