In this life-saving episode, a neurologist specialist Dr. Ishank Goel explains the critical signs and symptoms of a stroke, why every second counts, and how early recognition can make the difference between full recovery and long-term disability. You’ll learn the FAST acronym (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services), along with lesser-known stroke symptoms that are often missed. The expert also discusses the different types of strokes—ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)—and their causes, including high blood pressure, blood clots, and lifestyle factors.

The neurologist dives into current methods of stroke diagnosis, such as CT scans and MRIs, and the latest in stroke treatment options, including clot-busting drugs, mechanical thrombectomy, and post-stroke rehabilitation. Listeners will also gain valuable insights into prevention strategies like managing hypertension, controlling diabetes, and adopting heart-healthy habits. Whether you’re a caregiver, a healthcare worker, or simply someone who wants to be prepared, this episode delivers must-know information that could help save a life. #stroketreatment #strokesigns
