I'm a very active person. I've always been. Even in my 80s, I did not like sitting at home idly. From the time I wake up, I keep on doing things.
One morning, I was having breakfast with my family when I noticed some weakness in my right upper and lower limbs. We went immediately to our trusted Zydus Hospitals to see a specialist before things got any worse.
At Zydus Hospitals, Dr. Rushikesh examined me in his OPD after clinically identifying the cause, and because the symptoms had only begun 2-2.5 hours before, he and his team immediately activated Code White, the brain stroke code.
I was immediately shifted to the Emergency Room, where I underwent an MRI. The scan revealed an artery blockage on the left side of the brain caused by a blood clot.
The Doctors calmly explained the situation to my family, and it was decided to dissolve the blockage using a clot-busting drug, tenecteplase, via an intravenous (IV) line.
I was shifted to the ICU and closely monitored. Within a few hours, I could feel an incredible improvement in the strength of my right arm and leg, going from complete non-functioning to normal power. By the end of the day, I had almost completely recovered and was shifted to a regular room the next day.
I got back home after a couple of days. With all the exercises I do in my routine and now with the addition of physiotherapy, as advised by the doctors, to strengthen my muscles, I have a more active life.
If I hadn't received timely expertise and treatment from Dr. Rushikesh Shah, Physician-Internal Medicine, Dr. Nikhil Dave, Neurologist, Dr. Ketan Patel, Head of the Emergency Department, Dr. Kalpesh Shah, Neurosurgeon, and the Zydus Hospital staff, I would have spent the rest of my life in bed.
