Understanding Stroke
A stroke, often referred to as a “brain attack,” occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. Immediate treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and potential complications.
Types of Stroke
- Ischemic Stroke: Caused by a blockage in an artery leading to the brain.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by a blood vessel bursting in the brain.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Often called a mini-stroke, it’s a temporary period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke.
Symptoms of Stroke
- Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Nerve Problems
Nerve problems, also known as neuropathy, can affect different parts of the body and may cause various symptoms depending on the nerves affected.
Types of Nerve Problems
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Affects the peripheral nerves and is often seen in conditions like diabetes.
- Autonomic Neuropathy: Affects the autonomic nerves that control involuntary functions.
- Entrapment Neuropathy: Caused by nerves being compressed or trapped, leading to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Cranial Neuropathy: Affects the cranial nerves, such as in Bell’s palsy.
Symptoms of Nerve Problems
- Tingling or numbness, especially in the hands and feet
- Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, or burning pain
- Muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves are affected
- Coordination problems and falling
- Sensitivity to touch
