A stroke is an acute disruption of the blood supply to the brain. When blood flow to a certain part of the brain is interrupted or a blood vessel ruptures, nerve cells begin to die rapidly due to lack of oxygen.
The consequences can be severe — from permanent neurological damage to a life-threatening condition.
⚠️Important: If you suspect a stroke, do not take painkillers or sedatives and do not wait for it to “go away.” Seek emergency medical attention immediately.
