Health report
Strokes
A stroke is also know as a cerebrovascular accident or CVA it is a neurological injury in
which the blood supply is stopped. My Grandmother is one of millions of people that lives
have been effected by this horrible injury. She is 58 years old and 4 years ago she had a
stroke and survived. Some people die from strokes nearly 160,000 die in a year. Strokes
are the third leading cause for deaths in the world. Strokes do not just include old
people nearly 30% of stroke victims are under the age of 65. Strokes will effect four out
of five families in some way.
Strokes have warning signs such as numbness or weakness of the face arm or, leg usually
on just one side of the body, sudden trouble speaking or understanding words, trouble
seeing in one or both eyes, Sudden vertigo, severe headaches with no known cause, and many
more symptoms.
People that have survived from strokes often suffer many problems such as depression,
fatigue, loss of memory, loss of balance, painful muscle spasms, trouble swallowing, and
problems with bladder control. There are many more problems depending on the severity and
place of stroke.
My Grandmother has been an inspiration to me showing that when your knocked down to get
up and keep trying until you at last succeed. She has inspired this report showing that
she has worked hard and recovered from it.
