Health is wealth and to lead a healthy and contended life, awareness about stroke is important. Out of many diseases with which human beings suffer regularly, stroke is said to be the most devastating and debilitating one.

 So what is a stroke?

A stroke is a sudden disabling attack or loss of consciousness caused by an interruption in the flow of blood to the brain.

In India, among people aged up to 45 years, stroke is said to be a major cause of loss of life, limbs and speech. Increasing life expectancy at birth, rising urbanization, changing lifestyles and rising stress levels due to hectic work schedules and paucity of time to achieve the targets set for various issues are all believed to increase the stroke cases among human beings.

 Therefore, it needs no emphasis to note that the management of stroke from its onset to chronic care with focus on people with first stroke or recurrent strokes is very much important and indispensable and must be attended to.

Moreover, it is frightening to note that people suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood fat (cholesterol) are said to be at greater risk. The most important of these risk factors are said to be high blood pressure. Therefore people with high blood pressure must be aware of it and take early preventive measures in time to adequately control it and keep it in check with proper medication.

Special attention should also be paid to on-set of symptoms, recent stroke if any, seizure, trauma, surgery, bleeding, pregnancy and use of insulin and anti hypertensive and history of modifiable risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, heart disease and migraine.

To ward off the effects of stroke, people having above diseases should sit, stand or walk with caution and with proper supportive care.
