Every two seconds, someone in the world has a stroke. One out of every six people will have a stroke at some point in their lives. Strokes deprive brain cells of oxygen and are one of the most common causes of death, and a leading cause of preventable disability. But what causes strokes in the first place? And what can doctors do to treat them? Vaibhav Goswami takes us into the body to find out.

My mum being a nurse in her early days knew exactly what was happening and made me call the ambulance straight away .. she saved his life, but was left with his left side of his body paralyzed. He eventually passed away in 2017. The impact on our lives was tremendous. My mother passed away the following year when my dad had the stroke in 2002, it was too much for her.

It's weird that the place of origin of nerves does not have pain receptors

[@Yarshy.]

Why would you need pain receptors in the brain? It's logical for them to be in the peripheries/extremities of the human body as they are more likely to be in contact to stimuli. Plus it'd incredibly difficult to formulate analgesics to reach hypothetical pain receptors in the brain when you think about it

[@rinne1669]

Sarvesh Kumar Why would we need them in our brain? Lol

[@sarveshkumarr8835]

Won't it be convenient if there were few pain receptors near blood vessels to indicate stroke

[@Yarshy.]

+Sarvesh Kumar But there are other mechanisms in the brain that aid detection of stroke, pain receptors in the brain has no evolutionary advantage

[@MetallicReg]

1. When you have injured your brain, it is basically too late for pain receptors. 2. "Pain" is processed and defined by the brain - the receptors alone can't alert the body in any way. 3. You usually don't feel anything inside your body if it is not damaged - the signals are blurred out by the brain on purpose.

[@linux750]

How do you PREVENT a stroke? 1. Reduce Stress 2. Reduce fatty foods that dump blood thickening fats into your bloodstream 3. Reduce Sodium (salt) intake. Sodium raises blood pressure. 4. Increase oxygen flow throughout your body by making sure you're breathing properly and no blood flow is cut off or reduced by anything. Good luck!

[@firstlast9731]

damn im doing the opposite of all 4 of those lol thanks tho

[@DB-gl3jx]

You can’t “PREVENT” a stroke (it has no cure), you can only lower the risk of getting a stroke. And you forgot one of the most vital aspects that can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is EXERCISE. A lack of exercise (remaining sedentary all day), alongside smoking and obesity, is one of the biggest risk factors when it comes to cardiovascular diseases When it comes to fats, unsaturated fats (lowers blood cholesterol levels) are actually good for you. Try to avoid saturated fats (which increases blood cholesterol levels -> increases buildup of plaque). Too much unhealthy fats can also lead to atherosclerosis, and interesting fact: about 90% of heart attacks are caused by atherosclerosis (disorder caused by buildup of plaque inside of artery walls). Sodium is also crucial for your body’s function. A lack of sodium causes sodium deficiency, so the best answer is to regulate the amount of sodium you consume. Not too much, not too little. Although breathing properly is important, it does not necessarily reduce the risks of a stroke. However, going outside for a walk does increase the concentration of blood in the body compared to breathing the air at home (another reason to exercise outside). When it comes to reducing the risks of cardiovascular disorders, exercise, a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle are the most important factors. Our bodies are not built to sit in a chair all day, so get up and walk around and do some exercises. It not only reduces the risk of cardiovascular disorders, it also strengthens your heart muscles (heart wears out slower).

[@skylarmoon3454]

[@Lovepreet_Singh93]

Thank you so much for sharing this life saving knowledge.

[@mariacamagay9685]

i wish i knew about this earlier, so that i know when my grandfather got one😭

[@MayurBharali]

Fascinating........

[@zinc8002]

that catheter procedure is INCREDIBLE!

[@homeboy66]

Today my best friend's father died......Really i never seen him crying this much before...pls pray he'll recover his mental state and gain a new meaning of life💝

[@Alex-ug9wx]

This really freaks me out. It’s currently three AM. Every single person in my family is asleep and no one would even know if I had a stroke right now. It would be hours at best before I got treatment or help. Id literally be a walking dead person (brain damage) for the rest of my life. Also, modern medical science is incredible, how they do the things they do to treat this amazes me.

Cool but, wtf! His nose! Why is everyone ok with thar?? I cant watch this video i gotta listen to it... The nose is on the side of his head... Where his ears should be

[@Taartin]

43rdGustMeso probably, but at one point in rhe video it was dark and u could just see the head and the nose/ear, it completely looked like someone looking sideways

[@BadgerBuns]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the nose, I spent a good portion of the video worrying about the massive mole/tumor on the side of his head

[@MA-zs5cu]

if it was a nose , should it be placed in between the eyes?

[@MA-zs5cu]

but i also know it should be a nose because of the nurse in 2:49

[@claudiag.9307]

I think it's a drawing style that mixes front and side perspective on purpose, makes it look cartoony you know? (Playing with facial features in general). In any case I think it's odd that it bothers you so much.

[@benji2530]

Thank you so much for these videos! They are so good and helping me for my lessons! (Eventhouge it's english, and I'm German, but it's so well explained)

[@SwasthyaNeer]

Keep the good work up! You’re the best 😀

[@ravneetkour2077]

My dad too suffered a stroke last month he is fine now after having a bypass surgery.But the weird experience still disturbs me a lot mentally .And I don't think I will ever forget it.

[@arnoldyap3168]

My grandmother had a stroke on October 17th of this year. I went into her room to turn off her television and found her on the floor. I called 911 immediately. She passed away 10 days later from complications of the stroke. The look on her face the night I found her is one that I will never forget. I just hope and pray that she didn't suffer too much. It's both amazing and unfortunate how quickly life can change. I miss her a lot!

[@elicona2508]

My great grandfather had a stroke and survived but he is not doing well so please pray for him

[@theimmortalsleazus8057]

Will do my grandmother had two of them and lived just not the same. Through rehabilitation they will recover alot although for years my grandma thought it was still the 80s and I was my eldest brother

[@Soulsurf02]

Amazing 👌🏽

[@somdebsar7378]

A great educator of all time 👍

[@krismiller5126]

This should be in every company and school

[@peternashaat4131]

When the doctors were operating on the patient i immediately remembered the good doctor 😍😍

[@BlueEyes-WhiteDrag0n]

I hope u mean the Korean Version of 'The Good Doctor' because the American version just Killed the Vibe

[@peternashaat4131]

i didn't watch it unfortunately but the american version was quite fine for me not THE BEST medical series ..

[@davelawson6459]

My son had a stroke at 36. Please be in prayer for him

[@bretlouden7965]

You want urgent recovery from stroke and paralysis with natural root and herbs, then WhatsApp [phone] for help and more information

[@glendapeterson1180]

This is a very well-done video. It's short and to the point. It uses both the voice and visual images to impart critical knowledge. Someone did a good job about an important topic.

[@ThatBradyChick]

This was very informative, thank you!

[@Rabbittomaru]

Thanks for sharin it, TED. My Dad passed away last month after several years suffered from stroke. May peace rest upon him. Hope for times to come, this will bring more awareness to all. Thank you 😊

[@All-OutBroncos]

I feel do bad for you and your father🙏🙏🙏

[@vp3236]

Why do the characters have huge zits?

[@Aces_place444]

My friend had a stroke at school (we are in eigth grade) and the screaming afterwards was enough to scar me for life. I'm so glad she is ok now!

[@HealthJourney101]

I wish these could be in our courses.

[@MaximusGamingGG]

Hey ted ed team I am one of your biggest fans. I like all your videos.Pls reply if seen. Pls keep on uploading such nice stuff....

[@girohead]

Truly! As a stroke victor, an Advanced Toastmaster and medical/neural fan, I'm exhausted by the typical Ted talk of theatrics and smoke and mirrors like a bad Toastmaster speech contest. Offer knowledge/value, not drama.

[@nikhilnath18]

Interesting

[@ranjitbera4149]

Really informative and helpful.
