Brain Attack
Brain Attack is another way of describing a stroke. A stroke, like a heart attack, is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical care. The symptoms of stroke may include weakness, numbness or paralysis - particularly on one side of the body - sudden blurred or decreased vision, speech difficulty, dizziness, or sudden and severe headache.
Acute ischemic stroke is the result of blood clots which block the flow of blood to the brain. If symptoms are recognized within three hours, clot dissolving agents may be used for eligible patients to reduce disability.
