Brain, Stroke, Paralysis, and Neurological Disease Specialist
There is a common misconception in our country that stroke is a heart disease. In reality, this is not true at all. Stroke is a disease of the brain. Stroke refers to an incident involving the blood vessels of the brain. In this event, a blood vessel may become blocked or rupture. As a result, the brain's functionality is impaired. Stroke is entirely a complication related to the brain’s blood vessels.** The rate of stroke cases is increasing day by day. It is observed that lack of awareness is a major reason behind the rising number of stroke patients. Currently, there are 1.5 to 2 million stroke patients in our country. On average, 3 to 5 out of every 1,000 people suffer from stroke. Although stroke is more common among people over fifty, it can occur at any age. After the age of 50, the risk of stroke doubles every ten years. Among those affected, the majority are men. The rate of stroke among women is somewhat lower. **Factors That Increase the Risk of Stroke—** Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the biggest cause of stroke. Many patients with hypertension do not take their medication regularly, or stop taking medication when their pressure decreases for a few days, or believe they have no symptoms related to high blood pressure and therefore avoid medication. Smoking, chewing tobacco, gutka, jarda (types of tobacco products), and excessive drug use. Excessive stress, anger, uncontrolled diabetes, high levels of fat or cholesterol in the blood. An inactive lifestyle, excessive consumption of fatty foods, obesity, drinking too many soft drinks, and excessive salt intake. Some medications that reduce the blood’s ability to clot, such as aspirin and clopidogrel, can cause brain hemorrhage. Snoring during sleep or symptoms related to breathing difficulties during sleep. Any kind of inflammation or infection and congenital narrow blood vessels in the brain. Sometimes, stroke can be hereditary or caused by previous stroke, heart attack, or blockage of distant blood vessels. People suffering from various heart diseases such as ischemic heart disease, heart valve problems, irregular heartbeat, or those who have had a previous mini stroke. --- **Symptoms of Stroke:** Numbness or weakness in any part or one side of the body, or paralysis. Weakness in legs, hands, face, or either the right or left side of the body. Inability to walk, loss of balance, and coordination problems in different body parts. Difficulty speaking, confusion, slurred speech, inability to speak or understand speech. Temporary blurred vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes.
