Stroke vinformation A stroke occurs when there's bleeding into your brain or when normal blood flow to your brain is blocked. Within minutes of being deprived of essential nutrients, brain cells start dying — a process that may continue over the next several hours. Seek immediate medical assistance. A stroke is a true emergency. The sooner treatment is given, the more likely it is that damage can be minimized. Every moment counts. Signs and symptoms of a stroke include: Sudden weakness or numbness in your face, arm or leg on one side of your body Sudden dimness, blurring or loss of vision, particularly in one eye Loss of speech, trouble talking or understanding speech Sudden, severe headache — a bolt out of the blue — with no apparent cause Unexplained dizziness, unsteadiness or a sudden fall, especially if accompanied by any of the other signs or symptoms Risk factors for stroke include having high blood pressure, having had a previous stroke, smoking, having diabetes and having heart disease. Your risk of stroke increases as you age.
