This occurs when oxygen and blood is not flowing to the brain as it should. A stroke can be so mild that it goes unnoticed by the patient or be severe enough to cause short or long-term impairment. Loss of motor skills, mobility, speech, and memory are some of the long-term side affects that can occur. Regular blood transfusions for those at highest risk can reduce the chance of having a first time or recurring stroke.
Some of the symptoms that indicate one may be having a stroke are: sudden memory loss, dizziness, headache, seizures, sudden behavioral changes and numbness on one side of the body. It’s important that you and your family are aware of the warning signs of this very serious condition so you can get proper medical treatment as soon as possible.
