A stroke is a medical emergency that happens when there is a blockage in the supply of blood to one’s brain. This will deprive the brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients, and must be taken care of by a qualified physician immediately.

A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel.
There are several known causes such as lifestyle risk factors like being overweight or obese, medical risk factors such as high blood, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea and personal or family history of stroke, heart attack or transient ischemic attack and age.
