A brain stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Immediate treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve survival.
At RNC Hospitals, we are equipped with advanced facilities and expert neurologists to provide timely, life-saving stroke care.
🔍 What is a Stroke?
A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked (ischemic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts (hemorrhagic stroke). There is also a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or “mini-stroke,” where symptoms are temporary but still a serious warning sign.
⚠️ Common Signs of Stroke (Remember FAST):
- F – Face drooping on one side
- A – Arm weakness or numbness
- S – Speech difficulty or slurred speech
- T – Time to call emergency services immediately
