Do not ignore these minor symptoms...

A few days back, a friend of mine, called in the late evening that he experiences tingling in hand and half lip of the same side since morning.

I asked him to go to a nearby hospital immediately and get a physician's check up. His BP was found high. ECG was normal..The physician advised him to go home and return the next day for a further checkup.

I insisted on getting a MRI stroke protocol and stroke workup at night only and he complied. All his reports indicated that it was a warning symptom and he could get a major stroke with permanent paralysis if not treated. I could start stroke prevention treatment before that and he is saved from a catastrophic disability or mortality.

He was alert enough and did not ignore his body signals ..so was saved from a major catastrophe... Are you?

Sudden and unusual

Tingling on one side of body or face
Flashing lights or blind spots in one eye
Slurred speech
Altered behaviour
Double vision
Skewed eye or dropped eyelid on one side
Imbalance
Swallowing difficulty
Dizziness

Etc can be a warning of an impending major stroke

Do not ignore..consult a neurologist.

Why is consulting the correct speciality very important?

Presenting 3 serious examples , seen in a single day..

Case 1..

A 23 year old male, developed tingling numbness in legs with walking difficulty of sudden onset without any pain..was admitted at a multi-speciality hospital, mri spine done and diagnosed and treated for slipped disc!! From history itself, this was nowhere near a slipped disc. Further probing showed that he had once vomited, and I found weakness of the upper limbs, deglutition problem, speech fatigue, sleepy eyes..etc.. it was a dangerous case of GBS, viral affection of nerves, and fast progressing to a serious stage.. I immediately got him admitted under the care of a neurologist...I hope he recovers as it is still in the treatable stage.

Case 2

60 year old male, walking difficulty with imbalance. Again, labelled lumbar spine disease and advised surgery by non neuro spine doctors. Actually he had parkinsonism and mri spine was not matching complaints. Again, referred him to a neurologist with advice to continue life long care for good control and minimise disability.

Case 3

22 year old young girl, my old patient, consulted me for headaches which appeared pure psychogenic. Father said, I had treated her for over a month of ICU and aggressive care for critical serious head injury in her early childhood (I didn't recollect). But, her physical appearance and thick voice raised a doubt of hormonal disturbances. And she confirmed that she is already on a thyroid replacement. At this age, this raises a doubt of a pituitary gland tumor. I got her MRI done which was reported normal but I found an enlarged gland area. Discussed with the radiologist and got a contrast done to find a micro tumor. Still not needing surgery, I referred her to an endocrinologist for further evaluation and follow up with me as well.

Correct diagnosis leads to correct treatment for which you need the correct specialist...
