Stroke

What is Stroke ?

A stroke, often termed a “brain attack,” is a grave medical condition arising from the abrupt disruption of blood flow to the brain. Dr. Praveen Gupta, a renowned neurologist in Gurugram, specializes in providing timely and effective care for individuals facing the challenges of stroke.

Stroke occurs due to the sudden blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture (hemorrhagic stroke) of blood vessels in the brain. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as strokes can result in substantial and potentially irreversible brain damage.

Symptoms of Stroke

The signs of a stroke vary depending on the affected brain region. Common indicators encompass sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, speech difficulties, confusion, severe headaches, and coordination or balance issues. These symptoms manifest abruptly, demanding swift action.

Timely Intervention for Optimal Outcomes

Rapid response is pivotal in minimising stroke impact. In cases of ischemic strokes, clot-dissolving medications or mechanical clot removal procedures can restore cerebral blood flow. Hemorrhagic strokes may necessitate surgical interventions to halt bleeding and relieve cranial pressure.
