A 24-year-old tourist from the Czech Republic is in critical condition after collapsing moments after her boyfriend proposed at a church on Lefkada island, Greece. The proposal took place at the Church of Prophet Elias, a scenic location known for its breathtaking views.
Shortly after the man proposed, the woman collapsed. Emergency services, including firefighters and paramedics, responded swiftly and took her to Lefkada Hospital. She was then moved to Ioannina for advanced medical care.
Medical examinations revealed she had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, a form of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. This condition is life-threatening and demands immediate medical intervention.
Symptoms of brain bleeding vary but often include sudden severe headaches, nausea, weakness or paralysis on one side, confusion, seizures, and difficulty with speech or vision.
Common causes include head injuries, high blood pressure, aneurysms, and other health issues. The woman’s condition remains serious as doctors continue treatment.
