A(n) stroke is caused by a blood clot in one of the arteries leading to the brain. The clot may be due to plaque building up in the arteries going to the brain, reducing the blood flow to the brain.

you know that this symptom is misleading and quite often is related to: heart attack

a heart attack is a condition that occurs when the blood flow that transports oxygen to the heart muscle is damaged or cut off completely. the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can be blocked by the accumulation of plaque. also, when the plaque within the heart artery breaks, it creates blood clot that can also hinder the blood flow. men that are over 45years of age and women that are over 55years of age are at risk of having a heart attack. the symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath.

the ems is the abbreviation for the emergency medical services. it is a service provided by a group of medical professionals specialised doctors and other healthcare staff.

any one can call 911 in case of any medical emergency and a group of health care professional will come and give the treatment required. every day the ems staff receive many phone call, which are related to different types of medical emergencies, out of which 25-28% are exclusively related to the respiratory issues.

so, the correct answer is 25-28%.
