However, a stroke is a condition in which blood flow to the brain is completely stopped due to blockage or rupture of a blood vessel. Here are the main causes behind this disease, which causes the death of millions of brain cells within minutes:<\/p>\n<p>High Blood Pressure: The most important cause of stroke is uncontrolled high BP. Constantly high blood pressure puts severe pressure on the delicate blood vessels in the brain and causes them to rupture quickly (hemorrhagic stroke).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d38\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32 \u0d07\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d28\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d7d | Stroke Malayalam | Dr. Preethy V.

This can cause blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the brain, or blood clots from the heart can reach the brain and completely stop the blood flow (ischemic stroke).<\/p>\n<p>Uncontrolled diabetes and heart disease: Constantly high blood sugar levels weaken blood vessels and double the risk of clots. Similarly, people with heart rhythm abnormalities such as &#8216;Atrial Fibrillation&#8217; can develop blood clots inside the heart, which can then travel to the brain and cause a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: The nicotine and carbon monoxide that enter the body when smoking increase the heart rate and narrow the blood vessels. This can cause blood to clot easily. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption can quickly increase blood pressure, increasing the risk of stroke.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d38\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32 \u0d07\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d28\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d7d | Stroke Malayalam | Dr. Preethy V.
