Lastly, a stroke may indicate to doctors there is hyperlipidemia present. This life-altering event can occur for two different reasons. A blood clot clogs the flow of blood within the brain, or a blood vessel has broken open due to the increased blood pressure. To talk, walk, move one's arms and legs, and think correctly, the brain needs a constant supply of oxygen to work as it should. If the blood flow carrying oxygen is pooling into the brain because of the large hole in the vessel, or it has been stopped by a chipped off a piece of plaque caused by hyperlipidemia, part of the brain can die. Use the acronym FAST to help recognize the symptoms of this quickly and easily. 'F' stands for face drooping, 'A' stands for arm weakness, 'S' stands for speech difficulty, and 'T' reminds everyone it is time to call 911. This is a life and death situation, so please call 911 immediately for medical assistance. You have the time to save your loved one’s life by calling.
