A : A stroke is a brain injury from either bleeding into the brain or loss of blood flow. It is a medical emergency and can cause permanent neurologic injury or even death. Three of the most common symptoms are facial weakness, arm drift and change in speech - if you have any of these symptoms, you have a higher likelihood that you are having a stroke. If you think you are having a stroke, you must call 911 and go to the emergency room for evaluation. Quick diagnosis and treatment can reduce stroke severity.
