Stroke: These signs that appear one month before.

 

85% of strokes are caused by cerebral infarction, which is another term for it. Therefore, it is the most common type of stroke. Cerebral thrombosis happens when an artery that carries blood to the brain gets blocked by cholesterol buildup or atherosclerosis. When a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain, it is called a cerebral embolism.



Hemorrhagic strokes make up 15% of all stroke cases, and they are not as common. The main reason is when an aneurysm bursts. Brain bleeds can also be caused by tumors, high blood pressure emergencies, and other bleeding disorders, as stated by the Ministry of Health.





Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain.

This type of brain injury is different from a typical stroke. In reality, when the blockage in an artery disappears on its own and does not cause any lasting effects, it is called a transient ischemic attack. Regarding the symptoms, they should be similar to those of a stroke and should only last a short time before disappearing completely. These things make it hard to recognize transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which can sometimes be confused with just feeling unwell. However, since there is still a risk of stroke, it is important to stay alert and dial 15 if this happens.
