A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from receiving oxygen and nutrients. This can happen because of a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). During a stroke, brain cells begin to die within minutes, resulting in symptoms such as sudden weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, or loss of coordination.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), women are at higher risk of stroke due to hormonal changes, high blood pressure, and other risk factors such as birth control pills and age.
