So what exactly is a stroke?
Like all other organs, the brain also needs a supply of blood. A rich supply of blood provides nutrition and oxygen that cells require to function properly. But when there is an interruption of blood flow, the cells begin to die. So when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and oxygen shortage is caused, which leads to a condition referred to as a Stroke.
The oxygen interruption or blockage can be a result of the narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the brain. It may also be due to a clot that is caused because of a blood vessel burst or sudden bleeding in the brain tissue. This condition is also sometimes called a brain attack and needs to be treated immediately. It is similar to a heart attack and, if not treated immediately, can prove to be fatal.
