Two types of stroke exist
A stroke is caused by the sudden and rapid cessation of blood circulation in the brain.
There are two types: ischemic stroke caused by the presence of a blood clot in a cerebral artery, and hemorrhagic stroke caused by the rupture of a vessel.
Excess cholesterol, diabetes, obesity or smoking are risk factors.
The sequelae can be irreversible: paralysis, speech or balance disorders.
Taking care of them in the first minutes makes it possible to avoid them.
If you have trouble moving an arm or a leg, if you can't find your words, or if you notice paralysis in part of your face, it could be a sign of a stroke.
Immediately dial 15.
