What are the symptoms of a stroke?

 

A stroke occurs when part of your brain doesn’t get the blood that it needs. A stroke is sometimes called a “brain attack.” This is because, like a heart attack, a stroke involves the loss of blood flow, leading to the death of cells. In fact, without blood, your brain cells start to die within minutes.

 

If you are having a stroke, you need to be taken to the hospital right away. Thankfully, there are stroke treatments that can increase your chances of walking away from an attack with few or no disabilities. But you have to get these treatments within 3 hours from the start of your symptoms for them to work. Be aware of the signs of stroke so you can help yourself or someone else get vital treatment
