Ischaemic strokes are the most common type of stroke. They happen when “blood clot” blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.
Haemorrhagic stroke happens when the blood vessel inside the skull bursts and bleeds into and around the brain.
The factors that can increase the risk of high blood pressure are;
• Being overweight
• Drinking excessive amount of alcohol
• Smoking
• Stress and lack of exercise.
There are warning signs that can be observed to avoid stroke.
• Sudden weakness or numbness in the face.
• Trouble speaking or understanding speech.
• Sudden vision problems in one or both eyes.
• Severe headache with unknown cause
• Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or problem with coordination.
