STROKE TYPES :
A stroke happens when blood cannot supply oxygen and important nutrients to your brain cells.
When brain cells do not get enough oxygen or nutrients, they die.
A stroke can happen in two main ways:
- A blood clot or cholesterol plaque blocks a blood vessel. This is called an ischaemic stroke.
- A blood vessel leaks or breaks. This is called a haemorrhagic stroke.
