Although any person can have a stroke, statistics show that almost three-quarters of strokes occur in seniors. It is the main cause of physical disabilities, and the second cause of mental disability, coming after Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Stroke is more fatal to women than men in Canada. 45% more women die from it than men, and since women live longer, most people who deal with the effects of this illness are women.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors who have high blood pressure, smoke, suffer from heart disease or diabetes and use certain medications are more prone to having a stroke. Genetics, gender, weight and age are also high-risk factors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Types of Strokes in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Three main types of stroke are <em><strong>ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke <\/strong><\/em>and <em><strong>transient ischemic attack<\/strong><\/em>. Most strokes are ischemic, which means they occur arteries are narrow or blocked, reducing blood flow to the brain.<\/p>\n<p>A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel leaks or bursts, causing damage.<\/p>\n<p>The transient ischemic attack, also known as a mini-stroke, is caused by the narrowing of the arteries. However, this mini-stroke only causes temporary symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Symptoms of Strokes in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When a person has a stroke, time is crucial. The moment they experience the symptoms of a stroke, they should call 911 or visit their physician, instead of waiting for the effects to lessen. Receiving medical attention immediately after a stroke can minimize damage and potentially save a person\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>The symptoms of a stroke include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Trouble speaking<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Confusion or trouble understanding<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Paralysis of the face, arms or legs<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Difficulty with vision or walking<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Headaches and vomiting<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\">Neck stiffness and dizziness.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
