Stroke
Recognising stroke symptoms early can save a life
In this Telugu video, Dr. Manoj Vasireddy, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at KIMS Hospitals, Kondapur, Hyderabad, explains what a brain stroke is and the difference between ischaemic stroke (a blocked blood vessel) and haemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain). He walks through the FAST warning signs (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call for help) and why a suspected stroke needs emergency care at once, since treatments such as clot-dissolving medicine and mechanical thrombectomy work only within a limited time.
