A stroke can leave an individual paralysed and they can often lack the ability to fend for themselves in the future after suffering from one. Typically there are two main causes and reasons for a stroke happening.
These are called an ischaemic stroke and a haemorrhagic stroke. An ischaemic stroke is where there is a blockage in the arteries carrying th blood both too and from the brain the blockage could be of a fatty nature or as simple as an air blockage.

Some of the main symptoms of an individual having a stroke are things like slurred speech and them being difficult to understand, paralysis, numbness and weakness on one side of the body, loss of sigh, severe confusion and headaches.
