Types of Stroke
There are two main types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
* Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery that supplies blood to the brain. This type of stroke is the most common, accounting for about 87% of all strokes. * Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding in the brain. This type of stroke is less common, but it is often more severe than ischemic stroke.
##
Symptoms of Stroke
The symptoms of stroke can vary depending on the severity of the stroke. However, some common symptoms include:
* Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body * Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech * Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes * Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance * Sudden severe headache with no known cause
##
Treatments for Stroke
The treatments for stroke will vary depending on the type of stroke and the severity of the symptoms. However, some common treatments include:
* For ischemic stroke, the goal of treatment is to restore blood flow to the brain. This can be done with medication to break up the blood clot, or with surgery to remove the clot. * For hemorrhagic stroke, the goal of treatment is to stop the bleeding and reduce the pressure on the brain. This can be done with medication, surgery, or a combination of both.
##
Rehabilitation After Stroke
After a stroke, many people will need rehabilitation to help them regain their function. Rehabilitation may include:
* Physical therapy to help improve strength, balance, and coordination * Occupational therapy to help improve everyday activities, such as eating, dressing, and bathing * Speech therapy to help improve speech and language skills
##
Preventing Stroke
There are a number of things you can do to help prevent stroke, including:
* Controlling blood pressure * Managing cholesterol * Eating a healthy diet * Getting regular exercise * Quitting smoking * Limiting alcohol intake
##
Stroke is a serious condition, but it can be treated and managed. If you think you or someone you know is having a stroke, call 911 immediately.
