Introduction:-
It occurs in human when brain does not get enough (proper amount) blood, If brain does not receive proper amount of oxygen (blood), it is not able to function properly. If any type of blockage occurs in its way, apoplexy occurs. Brain cells start dying if it does not get oxygen (blood) for more than 3 minutes and apoplexy occurs. There are two types of apoplexy and both types can be responsible for death.
If only ½ section of brain gets enough blood (oxygen), it is called chira (cellular membrane covering the skin) apoplexy. It occurs in human when cellular membrane gets trapped in the blood vessels of brain. In this attack, symptoms appear gradually sometimes suddenly.
The other type of apoplexy occurs when there is an injury to the brain that causes internal bleeding in the brain due to bursting of blood vessels or weakened blood vessels. This helps in the accumulation of blood in the brain resulting in increased pressure in that place and the cells responsible for some essential functions start dying. This type of attack (apoplexy) is very dangerous and it can also be responsible for the death of the patient.
Causes:-
- Rapid circulation of blood in the brain.
- Contraction of blood vessels or blockage of it due to retaining excess fat in the blood vessels.
- High blood pressure.
- Too much pressure in the blood vessels of the brain.
- Injury to the brain due to anything.
- Smoking and taking alcohol excessively.
- Using excess abortifacient peels.
- Hereditary causes.
- Obesity, stress and mental causes.
- Taking anti-destructive medication.
- Taking drugs responsible for lack of appetite.
- Diabetes or heart disease.
- Long-term hunger.
Symptoms:-
When apoplexy occurs, the patient suddenly loses vision, loss of speech and consciousness, symptoms of paralysis are found in parts of the face, the body becomes insensitive with loss of control over movements, vomiting occurs or the patient feels the urge to vomit, the patient feels headache suddenly and faints. The body starts feeling very weak with indisposition.
