Panchkula: “Patients should watch out for sudden severe headache, frequent headache associated with double vision, numbness of face and pain behind eyes, as these symptoms are related to hemorrhagic stroke,” said Dr Amandeep Singh, consultant interventional neuroradiology at a private hospital here.

Patients are advised not to take aspirin or any other blood thinner, without getting an urgent CT scan. Also, keep a close watch on blood pressure levels as increased blood pressure is harmful, he said. “Smoking is also a major risk factor for rupture or bleeding of aneurysms,” said Dr Amandeep. The advanced treatment of these aneurysms is possible by neuro-interventional techniques, using coils and flow diverters, he added. TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
