Stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted — by a clot (ischaemic stroke) or bleeding (haemorrhagic stroke). Brain cells begin to die within minutes, which is why recognising symptoms early and reaching a stroke-capable hospital quickly can mean the difference between full recovery and lasting disability.

In New Delhi, patients and families often search for a stroke specialist after an event has occurred, or when they have had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) — a brief episode of weakness, speech difficulty or vision loss that resolves. A TIA is a major warning sign and should never be ignored.

Dr. Sudheer Pandey is a DrNB neurologist trained at Army Hospital Research and Referral. Stroke care extends well beyond the emergency phase: controlling blood pressure, treating atrial fibrillation, optimising diabetes and cholesterol, choosing the right blood-thinning strategy, and guiding rehabilitation are all essential to prevent recurrence and maximise recovery.

Whether you are recovering from a recent stroke, managing risk factors after a TIA, or supporting a family member, structured neurology follow-up improves outcomes. Same-week appointments are available at MGS Hospital & Shree Aggarsain International Hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to common questions — when to seek care, what to expect, and what to do next.

If you notice sudden face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech, vision loss, severe headache or confusion, call emergency services immediately — do not wait to see if symptoms improve.

Book a neurology follow-up within 1–2 weeks of hospital discharge. If you had a TIA (brief weakness or speech difficulty that resolved), see a neurologist within 24–48 hours.

Yes — without treatment, roughly 1 in 10 stroke survivors has another stroke within a year. Starting blood thinners, controlling blood pressure and treating atrial fibrillation cuts this risk sharply.

Most survivors should keep blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg unless your doctor advises otherwise. If your reading is above 180/110, seek urgent medical care the same day.

Most ischaemic stroke patients need long-term antiplatelet or anticoagulant medication plus statins. Do not stop these without your neurologist's approval — stopping suddenly raises stroke risk.

In India, you typically need at least 1 month seizure-free and neurologist clearance before driving again. If weakness or vision problems persist, driving may not be safe until you recover.

Recovery depends on stroke size and speed of treatment. Many patients regain significant function with rehabilitation started within days — the first 3 months are the most important window.

Yes. Control blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, treat atrial fibrillation, stop smoking and take prescribed blood thinners. These steps prevent most recurrent strokes.
