There is a possible build of plaque in the wall of an artery. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a brain artery suddenly opens. The most common cause of this stroke type is high blood pressure. High blood pressure causes arteries to become weak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TIA or transient ischemic attack happens when an artery is blocked momentarily by a small clot. The symptoms often last not more than an hour. Since it happens for a few minutes only, it is also called a warning or mini-stroke. This is also an indication that a worse stroke may happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tumor, infection, swelling of the brain from a disease or injury are the other possible but rare causes of a stroke. People who have artery defects at birth can have a stroke later in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of stroke in the body can be mild, moderate, or severe. How long the brain had no blood flow and the time it took for treatment to be given also play a role in the severity of a stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When blood stops flowing in your brain and damages your brain cells, you\u2019ll experience a stroke.
