What are some symptoms of low blood in the head/brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure of question: Unrestricted flow of blood through the brain is essential for its function, because the brain has no built in stores of nutrients or oxygen. Minor inadequate blood flow can cause light-headedness and even fainting. Major blood flow problems such as follows a stroke can lead to death of cells in that region, with major long-term negative effects.
