स्ट्रोक के लक्षण और समय पर इलाज क्यों है जरूरी?
When it comes to stroke, time is brain. Every second counts. Recognizing the early signs and seeking immediate medical attention can mean the difference between full recovery and lifelong disability—or even death. In this article, we’ll explore the early symptoms of stroke, why urgent treatment is critical, and how residents of Kota can access expert care through top न्यूरोलॉजिस्ट कोटा.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. There are primarily two types:
- Ischemic Stroke: Caused by a blockage (most common).
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by bleeding in the brain.
You can learn more in-depth about stroke types from the World Stroke Organization.

Recognizing the warning signs is crucial. Use the acronym BE FAST to identify a possible stroke:

⏱️ Why Timely Treatment Matters
Brain damage starts within minutes of a stroke. Every hour without treatment, the brain loses 1.9 million neurons. Early treatment can:
- Reduce the risk of permanent disability
- Improve recovery chances
- Save lives
For the best outcomes, patients should receive treatment within the first 3–4.5 hours of symptom onset.
