Despite this, a stroke can occur without causing any visible symptoms and can be discovered during an unrelated checkup.

The people who have a greater chance of having a stroke are those who have high blood pressure, are overweight or diabetic, and, therefore, they must make regular visits to the doctor to avoid this type of complication.
