A lack of oxygen to the brain can stop the brain from working properly and can even cause permanent damage. Thus, it is very important that the blood vessels going to the brain are kept as clear as possible as a blockage could cause a serious problem that is known as a stroke.
The symptoms of a stroke are not always easy to spot. Even strokes with mild symptoms initially however can be fatal, so it pays to know what signs to look out for. Signs of a stroke include the patient not being able to think clearly, having difficulty talking, and having one side of their face and body drooping.
