Know the problem of stroke.

A stroke occurs when there is a blockage in a vein of the brain or the flow of blood stops due to a vein bursting, which damages the brain cells. When the brain does not get enough oxygen and blood, its cells start dying within a few minutes, this condition is called stroke.

This is a medical emergency, which if not recognized in time, can also kill the person. In many cases, there is also a risk of disability due to stroke. According to medical reports, the symptoms of stroke are sudden and intense, but if attention is paid to some early signs, then you can avoid a life-threatening situation.
