A month before my stroke, my body started warning me. These are the first symptoms.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted. Brain cells that no longer receive oxygen die. The consequences can be serious: loss of speech, memory loss, paralysis, etc. The most common cause is thrombosis: a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel. This can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, a sedentary lifestyle, certain hormone treatments, or simply the aging of the blood vessels.
