Strokes symptoms… If you observe one or more of these signs of a stroke or "brain attack," don't wait, call a doctor immediately – • Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body • Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding • Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination www.clinicounselors.com

Some more remarkable symptoms • Sudden severe headache with no known cause • Other danger signs that may occur include double vision, drowsiness, and nausea or vomiting. • Sometimes the warning signs may last only a few moments and then disappear. These brief episodes, known as transient ischemic attacks, are sometimes called "mini-strokes." www.clinicounselors.com

  5. Causes of strokes • High blood pressure - Also called hypertension, this is by far the most potent risk factor for stroke. If your blood pressure is high, you and your doctor need to work out an individual strategy to bring it down to the normal range. • Cigarette smoking - Cigarettesmoking has been linked to the buildup of fatty substances in the carotid artery, the main neck artery supplying blood to the brain. Blockage of this artery is the leading cause of stroke. Also, nicotine raises blood pressure; carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen your blood can carry to the brain; and cigarette smoke makes your blood thicker and more likely to clot.  www.clinicounselors.com

Some more causes … • Heart disease- Common heart disorders such as coronary artery disease, valve defects, irregular heart beat, and enlargement of one of the heart's chambers can result in blood clots that may break loose and block vessels in or leading to the brain. The most common blood vessel disease, caused by the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, is called atherosclerosis. www.clinicounselors.com
