*DON'T IGNORE BRAIN STROKE SYMPTOMS*

With raging pandemic going on, silent sufferer are non covid related illness patients. Medical care for non covid disease has been addressed poorly . There were no regular follow ups for blood pressure and diabetes, no regular follow ups for brain stroke and heart patients. Even early symptoms of brain stroke has been missed by majority of patients that results into catastrophic events afterwards. To bring your attention sharing some recent details of events occurred in last week.

CASE 1 : Middle aged Man
On day 1- slurring of speech
On day 2 - reappearance of slurring of speech along with weakness of right hand and leg

In his case one of the blood vessels carrying blood from the heart to brain has been choked up leading to brain damage.

CASE 2 : Elderly female
Day 1- Experienced headache
Day 3 - Headache became more severe and got fit/ convulsion

Her angiogram revealed blockage of vessel carrying blood return from brain to heart, resulted in brain haemorrhage.

CASE 3 : Middle aged female
Day 1- headache and vomiting
Day 4 - increase in headache and altered consciousness

She diagnosed with bleeding in the brain due to rupture of ballooning of blood vessel called aneurysm.

All of these three patients had initial symptoms of brain affection that could not be recognised on time , that resulted into more serious brain injury. However thanks to our colleagues Dr Dinesh Singh and Dr Samir Parekh , we were able to diagnose before it's too late and can help them with advanced neurointerventional procedures and medical management. However some of the patients who failed to recognize initial warning symptoms cannot be helped even after applying all the advances of Medical Science.

And these are the events of one week only, occurring at a single hospital. This is just a fraction of widespread misfortunes.

So here is a message....

1) Regularly follow up with your physician/ neurologist/cardiologist for blood pressure and diabetes
2) Continue your medicines for blood pressure, diabetes and blood thinners without fail.
3) To look for the early symptoms of brain affection. You can remember stroke symptoms as BE SAFE.

B for balance( difficulty in walking )
E for eye ( vision loss)
S for slurred speech
A for arm or leg weakness
F for face deviation and
E for emergency- time to rush to the hospital.

Others are Headache and Fits/Convulsions..

If u experience this, contact nearby hospital with Neurological Experts onboard.

Remember brain injury is not forgiving. Earlier we diagnose, lesser the injury, better the outcome.

Are you at a risk of having stroke??

Yesterday was a world stroke day. Various organizations world wide are taking this opportunity to spread awareness about brain stroke , which we commonly term as paralysis or 'lakwa'. We as a stroke awareness page would like to share some details that may help you, if need arises.

We would like to devide it in 3 posts
1) To recognise whether you are having risk factors that can lead to brain stroke?
2) How to recognize that stroke is happening??
3) Where should we go if stroke is spotted?

Here in 1st post (of series of 3) we would like to discuss 1) To recognise whether you are having risk factors that can lead to brain stroke?
We all have seen that some people are at high risk of getting stroke than others. We can identify such high risk factors in them and try to eliminate it in order to decrease chance of having stroke.

For assessing risk, we can use chart provided by American heart Association/American Stroke Association (posted as image)

We would like to give simplified direction to use this chart.

• For each risk factor, select the box [higher risk or lower risk] that applies to you.
• Select only one box per risk factor either high or low risk.
• Add up your total for each vertical column i.e. red and violet.

1. Is your blood pressure greater than 120/80mm/Hg? Yes is RED
2. Have you been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation? (It is a condition where heart beats irregularly) Yes is RED
3. Is your fasting blood sugar greater than 100 mg/dl? Yes is RED
4. Is your body mass index BMI greater than 25kg/m?(BMI can be calculated by dividing your weight with square of your height in meter) Yes is RED
5. Is your diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, Sweetened beverages, salt, excess calories?( Fast food, Cola drinks,high salt) Yes is RED
6. Is your total blood cholesterol greater than 180mg/dL?(You can find this in your blood Cholesterol report) Yes is RED
7. Have you been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus? Yes is RED
8. Do you participate in 40 minutes of moderate to Vigorous physical activity 3-4 days a week? No is RED
9. Do you have a family history of stroke?Yes is RED
10. Do you smoke? Yes is RED
TOTAL SCORE [Your points of total RED]
With each RED your risk of stroke increses.

If you have one or two RED and other factors are not investigated yet, ask your doctor for investigation not done yet.

For any RED point you need to consult Neurologist to reduce risk of having stroke.
