It is important that one understands that improvement after this treatment is dependent on how early the block is removed – if you or  one of your relatives have a stroke it’s extremely important that you come to the right  hospital at the earliest, without wasting any time  going to a local nursing home or a scan Centre, because every minute, millions of your brain cells die. The commonest mistake people make after a stroke is  to go to a local nursing home where valuable time is lost; so coming to the right place at the right time makes all the difference.

Yes, if you get a transient feeling of weakness in one part of the body which lasts for a few minutes and then recovers, remember, this is a warning that a major stroke can happen any time in the future and this is the best time to consult your doctor and get appropriate treatment; also, remember, if you’re a smoker, a diabetic, have hypertension or cardiac disease, then again you are a patient with a greater risk than others to get a stroke.
