There are many causes of a stroke. Here are a few of them:

High blood pressure mainly occurs when the heart starts to work harder to circulate the blood throughout the body. So when this occurs, there are chances of damage occurring to brain and heart. High Blood pressure may lead to stroke if the blood is not brought down to normal.

Diabetic patients are prone to strokes because most of the patients get affected with hypertension, heart attacks or higher cholesterol. Any one of these may prone the patient to getting a stroke.
