WHAT CAUSES A STROKE? TWO MAIN WAYS EXPLAINED 🧠 After explaining the warning signs, our doctor discusses the two main types of stroke and how they happen: 🔹 Ischaemic stroke — a blockage A blood clot blocks an artery supplying the brain, cutting off oxygen and nutrients to part of the brain. 🔹 Haemorrhagic stroke — bleeding A blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding in or around the brain. This can damage brain tissue and increase pressure inside the skull. Both are medical emergencies. Symptoms alone cannot reliably tell you which type it is—urgent assessment and a brain scan help doctors choose the right treatment. Sudden face drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty? Seek emergency medical care immediately, even if the symptoms improve. Save and share to help others recognise why acting quickly matters. #StrokeAwareness #StrokeEducation #BrainHealth #KnowTheSigns #HealthEducation
