Strokes what is the cause?

Issue
My mother died of a Stroke to her brain, can anyone confirm what causes this - they say that because she had cancer it made the risk worse I am concerned that stress caused it and that really upsets me, if anyone knows, please let me know.

Best Tip

Two things cause stroke:
1.a bloodclot, and 2. a rupture in the blood vessel.

The first denies blood to the area distal to the clot (opposite from the side of the heart. The second results in a release of blood outside a vessel which does not stop until enough blood has filled an area large to someone inhibit the flow of any more blood into the area by some back pressure.

Others
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the spaces surrounding brain cells. Brain cells die when they no longer receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood or there is sudden bleeding into or around the brain. The symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble with walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination; or sudden severe headache with no known cause. There are two forms of stroke: ischemic - blockage of a blood vessel supplying the brain, and hemorrhagic - bleeding into or around the brain.

Who said she got stroke because of Cancer. It is wrong to say this way. It might have been normal cerebral hemorrhage. Cancer, that too, of brain, can not be confirmed after death. If it has been told by a qualified doctor ask him for explanation as to how he was telling.

Any way you need not get panic and for your own satisfaction you can have Cancer detection tests done for you which will bring you solace and remove the anxiety you have.
to say easily, when there becomes a knot or blockage in brain arteries or when blood becomes more viscos, stroke occurs.
So the medicine helps the blood flow to be dilute immediately,
