What is a Stroke?
A Stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain cells to die. It can result from a clot blocking a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a blood vessel rupturing (hemorrhagic stroke). Symptoms include sudden weakness, numbness, speech difficulties, confusion, or loss of balance. Early treatment improves outcomes. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders quickly understand your condition and provide urgent care.
