A stroke occurs when the blood supply to some area of the brain is cut off. With no oxygen or blood, the brain immediately shuts down, causing victims to lose consciousness. While some people will experience dizziness and headaches before the onslaught of a stroke, others may start twitching before a stroke occurs. To prevent permanent brain damage and death, immediate treatment is essential for stroke victims. Currently, stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
