when you have a stroke
Ischemic strokes. These are strokes caused by blockage of an artery (or, in rare instances, a vein). About 87% of all strokes are ischemic.
Hemorrhagic stroke. These are strokes caused by bleeding. About 13% of all strokes are hemorrhagic.
Physical effect
The most common types of disability after stroke are impaired speech, restricted physical abilities, weakness or paralysis of limbs on one side of the body, difficulty gripping or holding things, and a slowed ability to communicate.
Hidden effects of stroke affect nearly everyone who has had a stroke. They include cognitive impacts, changes in mental health and changes in emotions. With time, courage and the right support, stroke survivors told us that they start to feel like they are on the road to recovery.
