Stroke Symptoms & Recovery Explained by Dr Kaushik Sundar

Описание: Stroke often happens suddenly and without pain, which leads to fear, confusion, and dangerous delays in seeking care. In this video, Dr. Kaushik Sundar, Consultant – Stroke & Interventional Neurology at Narayana RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, answers the most common and critical questions patients and families ask about stroke symptoms, diagnosis, and recovery.

Using real-life clinical experiences, Dr. Sundar explains how doctors identify a stroke even when there is no pain, why recovery can vary widely from patient to patient, and how waiting at home can affect treatment options and long-term outcomes.
