Do Anyone Out There Know About Strokes?

My doctor told me I had been having mini strokes but he said it was nothing. I have been dealing with numbness , headaches, dizziness, problems with my eyes,and more. My grandmother, mother, and her sisters all died from strokes.

    Stroke are also called as cerebrovascular accident in medical terms. It refers to rapidly developing loss of brain functions because of a disturbance in the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. If not death, it can still cause permanent neurological damage, due to lack of proper diagnosis and treatment. So you must get your doctor to take proper tests and treat you accordingly.

        a mini stroke, or a TIA (trans ischemic attack) can also be caused by an interruption in blood flow due to narrowing of the carotid arteries. Ask your physician about a carotid ultrasound to evaluate the carotid blood flow. Blockages can be corrected by surgery in certain cases.
