Acute stroke, also known as a “brain attack,” is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to damage or death of brain cells. This can happen as a result of a blocked artery, a ruptured blood vessel, or a clot that travels to the brain.
The research found that increased stress at home, stress at work, and recent stressful life events were associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke . “Similarly, in individuals who reported severe work stress, the increase in stroke risk was lower in people who felt that they had control over what happens in work, in most situations, compared to people who felt that they had little control over their work life.”
