What causes a stroke?

A stroke or brain attack occurs when a blockage or bleed of the blood vessels either interrupts or reduces the supply of blood to the brain. Without blood and oxygen, brain cells and tissue become damaged and begin to die within minutes. When a person suffers a stroke, he/she may have symptoms in the body parts controlled by the damaged areas of the brain.

Stroke symptoms can include:

  • paralysis
  • numbness or weakness in the arm, face, and leg, especially on one side of the body
  • trouble speaking or understanding speech
  • confusion
  • slurring speech
  • vision problems, such as trouble seeing in one or both eyes with vision blackened or blurred, or double vision
  • trouble walking
  • loss of balance or coordination
  • dizziness
  • severe, sudden headache with an unknown cause

Noticing the signs of a stroke early is important so that you can act quickly. Immediate attention and prompt treatment can prevent complications like brain damage, long-term disability and even death. So, if you think you or someone else is having a stroke, call for medical help right away.

Stroke symptoms in women and men 

Women have a higher risk of having a stroke than men. They are also more likely to die from a stroke. While some stroke signs are similar in women and men, some signs occur more often in the fairer sex.

For example, signs like nausea or vomiting, hallucination, pain, shortness of breath, fainting, seizures, confusion or disorientation are more common in women suffering a stroke.

Stroke symptoms that occur more often in men include: drooping on one side of the face or an uneven smile; slurred speech, difficulty speaking, and trouble understanding other speech and arm weakness or muscle weakness on one side of the body.

Things that make you more susceptible to stroke

There are certain factors that increases your risk of having a stroke. The more risk factors you have, the higher your risk of having a stroke. Risk factors for stroke include:

Unhealthy Diet: Eating a diet high in salt, saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol can increase your risk for stroke.

Lack of exercise: Inactive lifestyle can also make you more susceptible to stroke. Experts recommend that an adult should get at least 2.5 hours of aerobic exercise every week. A brisk walk a few times a week can be helpful.

Too much alcohol: Heavy alcohol consumption may raise blood pressure levels as well as triglyceride levels, which can cause atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque in and on your artery walls that can restrict blood flow). Keep alcohol consumption moderate, which means no more than one drink per day for women, and no more than two for men.

Tobacco use: Tobacco in any form can cause thickening of the blood, formation of blood clots and narrowing of the arteries, as well as restrict oxygen in the blood. All of these can raise your risk for stroke.

Family history: This is one of the risk factors for stroke that you can’t control. Some people have higher risk for stroke because of genetic health issues, such as high blood pressure.

Age: As you get older, your risk for having a stroke also increases.

Certain medical conditions: Stroke is also slinked to certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disorders, such as coronary artery disease, heart valve defects, sickle cell disease, diabetes, etc.
