A partial stroke is a brief interruption of blood flow to parts of the brain, spinal cord or retina, which may cause temporary stroke-like symptoms but does not damage brain cells or cause permanent disability. There are two main causes of stroke: a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
“Some people may have only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) Sudden numbness or weakness of your face, arm, or leg, often on one side of the body. Confusion. Problems speaking or understanding others. Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking.
“I understand Fatoyinbo is gradually recovering and is about to open COZA Manchester, UK tomorrow November 27th 2022 and just opened the one in Birmingham, UK. Congratulations and I wish him good health.“
