A pre-stroke takes place when the blood supply to the brain is briefly stopped and resumes naturally. It feels similar to having a stroke but it tends to disappears within 24hrs and does not cause any damages.

According to reports, most people have reported having a pre-stroke tend to eventually have a stroke and this is an essential reason for taking note of any signs linked to a major stroke.

Medical experts use the acronym FAST as an accurate method to spot early signs of a stroke. It is a widely accepted method to identify stroke symptoms. The acronym, FAST refers to

F - Facial drooping

A - Arm weakness

S - Speech difficulties

T - Time

Ischemic strokes occur when blood clots or other particles block or narrow down the arteries leading to the brain.

Another possible kind of stroke is known as the transient ischemic attack (TIS), which essentially means the person has a mini stroke. It occurs when the blood supply to the brain gets blocked for a short period of time and usually causes no permanent damage.

The second type of stroke is known as a Hemorrhagic stroke and it occurs when the blood from an artery starts to bleed into the brain causing that part of the brain to get damaged and prevents the brain from functioning properly.
