When this happens, the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients which causes brain cells to die. Strokes occur due to problems with the blood supply to the brain; either the blood supply is blocked or a blood vessel within the brain ruptures. There are three main kinds ofstroke; ischemic, hemorrhagic and TIA.Jan 19, 2016
