Stroke Specialty Care with Dr. Biswamohan Mishra

Stroke is a serious medical condition that requires prompt and expert care. At Dr. Biswamohan Mishra’s clinic, we specialize in the comprehensive management of stroke, offering cutting-edge treatment and rehabilitation services to help patients recover and regain their quality of life.

What is a Stroke?

A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, either due to a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). This disruption deprives brain cells of oxygen, leading to cell death and potential loss of function in the affected areas. The effects of a stroke can range from mild to severe, depending on the location and extent of brain damage.

Symptoms of a Stroke

Recognizing the early signs of a stroke is critical for timely intervention. Common symptoms include:

  • Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
  • Confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech.
  • Vision problems in one or both eyes.
  • Dizziness, loss of balance, or difficulty walking.
  • Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.

If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, it is vital to seek immediate medical attention.

Expert Stroke Care

At Dr. Biswamohan Mishra’s clinic, our approach to stroke care is multidisciplinary and patient-centered. We offer:

Rapid Diagnosis and Acute Treatment

  • Emergency Care: Time is of the essence in stroke treatment. Our clinic is equipped to provide rapid assessment and intervention, including the use of thrombolytic therapy (clot-busting drugs) for ischemic strokes, which can significantly improve outcomes if administered within the appropriate time window.

Comprehensive Evaluation

  • Advanced Imaging and Diagnostics: We use state-of-the-art imaging technologies, such as CT scans, MRI, and carotid ultrasound, to accurately diagnose the type and cause of the stroke. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor the most effective treatment plan for each patient.

Personalized Treatment Plans

  • Medical Management: Depending on the type of stroke, treatment may include medication to manage blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood clotting. For hemorrhagic strokes, surgical interventions may be necessary to repair damaged blood vessels and prevent further bleeding.
  • Rehabilitation: Stroke recovery often requires a coordinated effort from a team of specialists. We provide personalized rehabilitation programs that may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation to help patients regain lost functions and improve their quality of life.

Stroke Prevention and Education

  • Risk Factor Management: Preventing a stroke is a key focus at our clinic. We work closely with patients to identify and manage risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation, through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring.
  • Patient Education: We believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their health. We provide education on recognizing stroke symptoms, understanding treatment options, and adopting preventive measures to reduce the risk of future strokes.

 

The most common warning signs of a stroke can be remembered with the acronym FAST:

  • Face drooping: Does one side of the face droop, or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
  • Arm weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
  • Speech difficulty: Is speech slurred, or is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask them to repeat a simple sentence.
  • Time to call emergency services: If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if they go away, call emergency services immediately and get to the hospital.

If you suspect someone is having a stroke, act fast. Call emergency services immediately, as stroke treatment is most effective when given as soon as possible. Do not wait to see if the symptoms go away. While waiting for medical help to arrive, keep the person calm, ensure they are comfortable, and monitor their condition. Note the time when symptoms first appeared, as this information is critical for medical professionals.

Yes, many strokes can be prevented by managing risk factors and making healthy lifestyle choices. Key steps include:

  • Controlling high blood pressure, the most significant risk factor for stroke.
  • Managing other health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation.
  • Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake.
  • Maintaining a healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Engaging in regular physical activity.
  • Keeping a healthy weight.
  • Following any prescribed medications or treatments to manage health conditions that could lead to a stroke. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are also crucial in monitoring and managing your stroke risk.
