INTRODUCTION--A REAL STORY-- 

 A party was going on, a woman stumbled a little and she managed to fall, but she reassured the people around her by saying - "Everything is fine, just hit a brick because of the new boot." There was a slight stumbling". (Although people nearby also offered to call an ambulance...) Friends standing by helped them clean up and a new plate arrived! It seemed that the woman was a little not comfortable with herself! At that time she was enjoying the party for the whole evening, but later her husband got a call from the people that she was taken to the hospital where she died the same evening!!
What happened in this case--
In fact, the woman had a brain haemorrhage during that party! If any of the people present there could identify this condition, then today that woman would be alive among us..!! 

Stroke identification-STR   --If a person reaches the brain doctor within three hours of a stroke, the effects of a stroke can be completely reversed. He believes that the whole trick is to identify the symptoms of a stroke immediately so that the patient can get medical treatment as soon as possible (ie within three hours). That all this is not possible due to ignorance!!! According to the medical experts on the brain, three very important things- STR.  You should always be kept in mind for the identification of a stroke patient. If we know these three things then the precious life of the patient can be saved. 

These 3 things are as follows- 1) S = Smile -which means ask the person to smile. 2) T = Talk- Ask that person to speak a simple sentence.  3) R = Raise - It means to ask the person to raise both his arms. If that person has difficulty in doing any of the above three tasks, immediately call an ambulance and transfer him to the neuro physician's hospital and tell the person accompanying him. Please inform the doctor about this.  A symptom of a stroke is also- Tell the man to stick out his tongue. If his tongue is twisting to one side, not coming out straight, this is also a major symptom of brain stroke.

REASON  CAUSE AND SYMPTOMS--

How to assist a stroke victim

• A brain haemorrhage and a brain stroke are both types of brain injury. However, the severity of each injury varies. A brain haemorrhage occurs when a small number of blood leaks from a blood vessel. It doesn’t cause much damage—but it can still cause symptoms. A brain stroke, on the other hand, occurs when a large number of blood leaks from a blood vessel. It’s a serious injury, and it can lead to brain damage and unconsciousness.
• A brain haemorrhage occurs when blood vessels in your brain rupture, releasing blood into the surrounding tissue. 
• A brain haemorrhage is the result of a traumatic injury, such as a car accident or a fall from a great height. 
• A brain haemorrhage usually doesn’t cause any symptoms at first. However, as the bleeding spreads and compresses nearby areas of your brain.
•  you may experience symptoms like fainting, double vision, blurred vision, weakness, or numbness. If you have a brain haemorrhage, it's important to seek medical care right away. 
• This type of bleeding is life-threatening, so the sooner you get treatment, the better your chances of a full recovery. 
• A brain stroke occurs when there’s a sudden rupture in a blood vessel in or around your brain. The rupture cuts off blood supply from the area, causing brain tissue to die and die quickly. This leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients, damaging nerve cells. 

Signs of Brain Injuries-- Signs of a brain injury may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, nystagmus, confusion, memory problems, impaired judgment, delusions, and personality changes. You should also be cautious about self-diagnosing yourself. 

Brain Hemorrhage--

A brain haemorrhage occurs when blood vessels in your brain rupture, releasing blood into the surrounding tissue. There are two main types of brain haemorrhage: 1-subarachnoid haemorrhage  2- intracerebral haemorrhage. 

1-Subarachnoid haemorrhage --when a blood vessel in the area around your brain called the subarachnoid space ruptures. when a blood vessel in the area around your brain called the subarachnoid space bursts. It often causes no symptoms at first. However, it grows as it travels, compressing nearby areas of your brain. Symptoms - include sudden dizziness, vomiting, confusion, and loss of consciousness.

2-Intracerebral haemorrhage --when a vessel in the area surrounding your brain called the interior space ruptures. Symptoms- causes no symptoms at first. An interior haemorrhage can cause significant damage, causing symptoms like weakness, vision problems, loss of consciousness, and seizures.

Brain Stroke--

Don't Ignore Stroke Symptoms

A brain stroke occurs when there’s a sudden rupture in a blood vessel in or around your brain. The rupture cuts off blood supply from the area, causing brain tissue to die and die quickly. This leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients, damaging nerve cells. There are two main types of brain stroke: 

1-Ischemic stroke--. Ischemic stroke occurs when there’s a sudden blockage in the blood supply to an area of the brain. For example, a clot in a blood vessel in the neck feeds the brain. Ischemic stroke often causes no symptoms at first. However, as the blockage gets larger, it causes tissue damage and symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, or loss of vision. 

2-Hemorrhagic stroke --It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Hemorrhagic stroke often causes no symptoms at first. It can cause significant damage, causing symptoms like weakness, vision problems, loss of consciousness, and seizures.
Risk Factors for Brain Injury--
Many risk factors can lead to brain injury, including a blow to the head, exposure to a person who has a brain injury, and a lack of oxygen in the air you breathe. These factors can’t cause a brain injury on their own. They can, however, lead to an injury and put you at greater risk of one.

Conclusive Signs of a Brain Injury--

Concussive brain injury - Concussion is a common brain injury that occurs when your brain bounces around inside your skull. It’s caused by a blow to the head, a fall, or even a rapid change in direction like a turn or a jerk. There are two types of concussions.

1- A short-term concussion-- when your brain bounces back and forth inside your skull for less than one day. 

2-A long-term concussion --when the damage caused by a concussion lasts more than one day. 

Symptoms of a concussion--    include dizziness, nausea, confusion, and headache. You should also be cautious about self-diagnosing yourself. If you’re concerned about your mental health,  memory loss, personality changes, or impaired judgment, see a doctor.

Treatment Lower Your Stroke Risks-

There is no “cure” for a brain injury, but it’s possible to improve the quality of life for people who have been injured. 

1. Get plenty of physical activity at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. 2. Eat a healthy diet and limit salt intake, which can cause a spike in blood pressure. 3. Maintain a healthy weight. 4. If you smoke, quit. 5. Know your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. If they are too high, work with your doctor to bring them under control.

1-You can follow a rehabilitation program that helps you learn new skills and get back to your normal lifestyle. Programs help you learn how to care for your injuries, such as: - Walking with a cane - Moving around in bed or in a wheelchair - Taking medications as prescribed - Avoiding injury - Preventing future brain injuries 

2-You also can take medications to heal your brain and reduce the symptoms of a brain injury. 

Conclusion--

INTERNAL CROSS SECTION

A brain haemorrhage occurs when blood vessels in your brain rupture, releasing blood into the surrounding tissue.  The rupture cuts off blood supply from the area, causing brain tissue to die and die quickly. This leads to a lack of oxygen and nutrients, damaging nerve cells. A brain haemorrhage often causes no symptoms at first. However, a brain haemorrhage grows as it travels, compressing nearby areas of your brain. Admittedly, some people do not die of brain haemorrhage, but they are forced to live a life of crippling and helplessness for the rest of their life.
