Why paralysis attack happens? - #12061
I am really confused about my uncle's health situation. A few months back, he had this sudden, terrible paralysis attack that left him unable to move one side of his body. It was super scary for all of us, and honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around why paralysis attack happens in the first place. He didn't have any prior symptoms or anything, just woke up one day and bam! The doctors said it was a stroke, but like, so many questions popped up in my mind. I keep hearing different stories and, no joke, they all sound either scary or downright confusing. Sometimes I wonder, is it just bad luck? Or does it have to do with lifestyle choices like diet or stress? I mean, my uncle isn't exactly the healthiest eater, but it all seems so sudden! Why paralysis attack happens? What’s the deal with age too? Are younger folks safe from this? I've also seen some articles saying certain medications can be a risk – is that true? Lastly, can anything be done to, like, prevent this from happening again? Any insights would be seriously appreciated.
