This process will eventually cut off the blood supply to that part of the brain causing an ischemic stroke. The attack may last less than 30 seconds or result in small episodes throughout the day. A person may experience weakness or dizziness and be unable to talk, see or move a part of the body. Once the episode is over the person recovers as though nothing has happened. This is a warning sign for an upcoming major stroke and needs to be fully evaluated at your nearest hospital.
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in or near the brain.
Aneurysms and vascular malformations are the most common causes of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage and are curable if treated early. If left untreated they are life-threatening. Patients with a hemorrhagic stroke usually have a sudden onset of symptoms that worsen rapidly.
