Stroke Warning Signs Treatment in Johor Bahru

Tanda-tanda Strok

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in Malaysia. A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is suddenly interrupted — either by a clot (ischaemic stroke, 80% of cases) or a bleed (haemorrhagic stroke). Every minute without treatment, 1.9 million neurons die. Recognising the FAST signs — Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 999 — and acting immediately can save a life and prevent permanent disability. A TIA (mini-stroke) is an urgent warning sign that a major stroke may follow within days.

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)
✓Sudden vision loss or double vision
✓Sudden dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination problems

⚠️ 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 thrombolysis (clot-busting treatment) must be given within 4.5 hours. For TIA and stroke prevention, we initiate antiplatelet therapy, blood pressure control, statin treatment, and anticoagulation if AF is detected.
