After a stroke, you could experience neurological and circulatory complications. Common complications related to these systems include brain swelling, headaches, dizziness, seizures and blood clots in the legs.
A stroke is a form of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that occurs in the brain. There are two types of stroke: ischemic (or embolic) and hemorrhagic. With ischemic strokes, there is a disruption in blood flow to the brain tissue by cholesterol plaque, clot or arrhythmia resulting in tissue damage and death.
