  • Summary

  • Dr. Derk W. Krieger, Consultant Neurologist at Fakeeh University Hospital Dubai, talks with the Morning Majlis team about the importance of the World Stroke Awareness Day, celebrated annually on October 29th, and provides advice on daily lifestyle changes one can do to prevent becoming susceptible to strokes.

    Signs and symptoms
    Symptoms can include a sudden numbness in the face or limbs, confusion, difficulty speaking or walking and dizziness. Immediate medical attention is required, to limit the impact and improve recovery.

    Those over 40 should have regular blood pressure checks, a reliable indicator of potential signs of hypertension or heart disease which are contributing factors.

    “We have better diagnostics now and better response systems,” said Dr Krieger. “People with stroke-related diseases come more often for early medical attention than they used to.

    “Stroke numbers go up because there's more awareness in the population about them. I wouldn't say it has to do with stress or climate change, it’s not that simple.”
