Contrary to popular belief, strokes do not always present with pain, which can lead to dangerous delays in seeking treatment. Dr. Gaurav Batra, a neurosurgeon at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Vaishali, India, emphasizes that many individuals mistakenly associate pain with stroke onset. Instead, common painless warning signs include sudden numbness or weakness, particularly on one side of the body, trouble speaking, and vision problems such as blurred or double vision. Other symptoms include dizziness and loss of balance. While headaches can occur, they are not a reliable indicator of a stroke. The B.E. F.A.S.T. acronym—Balance loss, Eye changes, Face drooping, Arm weakness, and Speech difficulty—serves as a reminder to seek immediate medical attention. Early intervention, including clot removal and emergency medication, can significantly improve survival rates and reduce long-term disabilities. Recognizing these symptoms, even in the absence of pain, is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
