Meerut: If someone suffers from brain stroke or paralysis and if the patient or his family members remember the BE FAST formula, his life can be saved. There won’t even be lifelong disability. Senior neurologist Dr. Vivek Kumar, who reached Meerut, had a special conversation with News 18. He told that if someone has suffered a brain stroke due to some reason and if he remembers the formula BE FAST i.e. B means balance, E means I, F means face division, A means arm, S means speech and T means time… then it can be cured.

These are the initial symptoms of brain stroke…

1. If a person’s balance starts getting disturbed
2. Sudden loss of vision or loss of vision
3. Some changes were seen in the face
4. suddenly my hands are not rising
5. no one can speak

If a person reaches the hospital in time as soon as these symptoms appear, he can get relief from lifelong disability. Doctor Vivek Kumar says that if a person having such symptoms reaches the hospital within four and a half hours and gets proper injection, he will become normal. He told that in stroke the vein gets blocked. The patient can also be cured by mechanical method. If someone reaches after 4 and a half hours, then he is treated through therapy. The treatment takes a little longer.

Doctor Vivek Kumar says that lifestyle and junk food are also causing brain stroke. Even after Covid, cases of brain stroke have increased. A large number of people approach doctors with neurological problems such as headaches, migraines, sudden dizziness or fainting, trouble walking, lack of balance or coordination, trouble seeing, problems speaking or difficulty swallowing. He further said that stroke is a medical emergency, in which the golden hour is very important, especially in cases of ischemic stroke. Timely treatment, such as clot-dissolving drugs or clot removal procedures, can significantly reduce brain damage.

He said that medical management of stroke includes thrombolytic therapy, anticoagulants, antiplatelet medication and blood pressure control. Similarly, in common neurological diseases like epilepsy, early diagnosis and continuous treatment is very important. With this, the quality of life of the patient can be improved by controlling seizures. With the help of modern medicines and surgical interventions, effective treatment of other movement disorders is also possible.
