A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. This leads to brain cell damage or death, causing serious complications such as paralysis, speech problems, or even death.

1️⃣ Ischemic Stroke – Caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow to the brain (most common type).
