A stroke is when there is a sudden disturbance to a part of the brain’s blood supply. This can be caused either by a blood clot (cerebral infarction) or a bleeding.
In order to distinguish between a stroke and a brain haemorrhage, a CT scan or MRI of the head needs to be done. Normally, the CT scan is done first. This is done shortly after the patient is admitted to hospital.
It is not rare for injuries to arise that cannot be seen from the outside, but that can produce great problems. Here we explains some of these injuries.
Many physical after-effects or sequelae can develop after a stroke. Some are more common than others. Some can be difficult to explain and understand for your surroundings.
After a stroke, at first most people find they spend all their strength on getting used to their new life. Acknowledging and accepting what has happened becomes the primary sentiment.
After a stroke you have a right to necessary health care and care services, including physiotherapy, home help, and speech therapy. Family members may have a right to respite care.
When someone has a stroke, this affects their family, friends, and colleagues. We all handle emotions like grief, anger, and despondency differently. All reactions are natural.
