Actually, it is ischemic stroke, which is due to a clot, and hemorrhagic stroke, which is due to bleeding in the brain. It is super serious, yaar. If anyone shows symptoms like slurred speech or face drooping, hospital bhago immediately, don't waste time.

My brain feels like it is on strike due to no sleep, but yeah, the two types are ischemic and hemorrhagic. One is a block and the other is a leak. If you are asking because of any sudden numbness or severe headache in someone, please skip this app and call an ambulance right now.

Dekho, do types hote hain—ek ischemic jisme block hota hai, aur dusra hemorrhagic jisme bleeding hoti hai. Dono hi bohot dangerous hain, haan. Agar kisi ko sudden weakness ya dizziness ho, toh ghar pe mat baitho, turant doc ke paas jao na.

Hey, don't stress too much about these scary medical terms. It's basically ischemic (clot) and hemorrhagic (bleeding). Just make sure you and your family keep BP in check, and always keep emergency numbers handy just in case.

Hello! The two types are ischemic stroke (due to blood flow blockage) and hemorrhagic stroke (due to a ruptured blood vessel). Keeping a active lifestyle helps prevent these, so let's keep moving and stay healthy! 😊

It's ischemic (blockage) and hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke. Both are medical emergencies, please consult a doctor for details.
