What is a stroke?

The Brain, like all parts of the body, needs oxygen, which it gets from the blood. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is cut-off.

When brain cells are starved of oxygen, they become damaged and the symptoms that follow is called a stroke.

As the brain controls the whole body, the symptoms of stroke can be wide-ranging depending on which part of the brain are affected.
