A stroke is a brain attack. It happens when the blood supply to part of your brain is cut off, killing brain cells. Damage to brain cells can affect how the body works. It can also change how someone thinks and feels. A transient ischaemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) is the same as a stroke but the symptoms only last for a short amount of time. ................
