A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is suddenly interrupted — either by a clot (ischaemic stroke) or a bleed (haemorrhagic stroke). Every minute without treatment matters.

Symptoms of Stroke Warning Signs

✓Sudden face drooping on one side — uneven smile
✓Sudden arm or leg weakness on one side of the body
✓Sudden speech difficulty — slurred, confused, or unable to speak
✓Sudden severe headache with no known cause (worst headache of life)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Call 999 immediately if you or someone nearby shows ANY of the FAST signs — do not drive to the clinic. Every second counts. A TIA (transient ischaemic attack) with symptoms lasting less than 24 hours is a medical emergency requiring same-day hospital assessment. See your GP urgently for stroke risk factor screening (blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, AF) even if symptoms have fully resolved.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah assesses stroke risk factors including blood pressure, ECG for atrial fibrillation, HbA1c, lipid profile, and full blood count. For acute stroke symptoms, we direct patients to the nearest emergency department immediately as clot-busting treatment can only be given within a limited time after symptoms start. For TIA, we direct patients to hospital. For stroke prevention, the doctor reviews your risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, and refers you to hospital or a specialist where needed.
