1-Ischemic Stroke:
87% chances brain stroke ischemic stroke ka karan hota hai ! ischemic ka simple answer hai blood supply nahi milne par koi bhi body part tissue ka kharab ho jana hai .
It occurs when a blood clot or plaque blocks a blood vessel, restricting blood flow to the brain.
Ischemic strokes can be caused by conditions like atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries), blood clots, or heart problems like atrial fibrillation jisme heart pump karna badha deta hai par supply organs tak nahi pahuchti hai aur oxygen demand puri nahi ho paati .
fat oil plaque jama hona , winter season main iske chances jyada badha deta hai , kyu ki blood patlapan winters main kam ho jata hai .
2. Hemorrhagic Stroke -
This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding within or around the brain.
hemorrhagic means khoon ka veseles ke bahar beh jana ya nas ka fat jana . jisse brain ke ander aur bahar blood ka jama hone lag jata hai aur ICP ( intracranial pressure ) increase ho jata hai !
High blood pressure, aneurysms, or blood vessel malformations can contribute to hemorrhagic strokes. While less common than ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes are typically more deadly.
Ek aur type ka Stroke Reason bhi hota hai jise 3rd TYPE STROKE bol sakte hai !
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often called a "mini-stroke." TIAs are brief interruptions in blood flow that don’t cause lasting damage but are a warning sign that a more severe stroke may occur in the future. yeh reversible condition hai jisme patient ki condition Time ke sath improve ho sakti hai .
