Today is World Stroke Day. World Stroke Day is celebrated on October 29 every year to raise public awareness about stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted for some reason. This blood supply to the brain is interrupted especially by blood vessel blockage or blood vessel rupture. Blood contains oxygen and nutrients. As a result, brain tissues die due to lack of oxygen. The biggest cause of stroke is high blood pressure. Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide.
If you want to prevent stroke, you need to know the symptoms. Because many people delay getting treatment even after a stroke due to not knowing the symptoms. Experts say the symptoms are abbreviated as FAST. Here F = Face = Contorted face, A = Arm = Weak or paralyzed arm, S = Speech = Slurred or stopped speaking, and T = Time = Get to the hospital as soon as possible. In this case, you should find out in advance which hospital has good stroke treatment.

Why people celebrate World Stroke Day?
To encourage awareness about stroke deases.
A stroke is an attack on the brain. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of your brain is cut off. It is caused by a blockage (ischemic stroke) or by bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). When this happens, the brain does not get the oxygen it needs and the brain cells begin to deteriorate and die. The brain controls what a person does, feels, thinks and remembers. So when the brain is damaged, these abilities are damaged. It can lead to physical disability to death of the person. Thanks for being with us.
