While anyone can have a stroke, some people, such as older adults, are more at risk. Nearly three-quarters of strokes occur in seniors. Stroke is also the primary cause of disability and one of the main causes of mental disability.<\/p>\n<p>More women die of stroke than men in Canada but since women live longer than men, more women are living with the effects of stroke.<\/p>\n<p>People who have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or who use some medications are more prone to having a stroke. Things like age, weight, genetics, and gender are also risk factors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Facts About Strokes: Types of Strokes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are three main types of stroke, and the most common one is ischemic stroke. When arteries narrow or get blocked, blood flow to the brain is reduced, which causes a stroke. On the other hand, a hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel leaks or bursts. The third type is the transient ischemic attack, which is also known as a mini-stroke. It is also caused by a narrowing of the arteries, but unlike ischemic stroke, it only causes temporary symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>After a person has a stroke, every second counts. Anyone who experiences symptoms should not wait for them to just go away, but instead call 911 or visit their physician. \u00a0Receiving medical assistance after a stroke is critical since quick treatment can minimize damage and potentially be a lifesaver. Some of the most common symptoms include trouble speaking, confusion or trouble understanding, paralysis of the face, arms, or legs, trouble seeing or walking, headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, and dizziness.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
