A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.
My Mom says when she presses on her scalp she gets a burning or stinging sensation. I tried to get some info on that and one of the things I found was that loss of blood supply from the carotid artery could have something to do with that. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this?

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
