Verified credentials
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029), a neurologist at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center and National Trauma Center, provides stroke and TIA risk assessment, vascular risk-factor review, secondary prevention planning, and recovery follow-up — with emphasis on blood pressure, diabetes, lipids, atrial fibrillation, and urgent symptom recognition.
A stroke causes lasting neurological deficit; a TIA (transient ischemic attack) resolves fully, usually within minutes to an hour. Both demand urgent evaluation because a TIA is a strong warning of a future stroke — not a benign event.
Review of blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, smoking, heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), and prior events, plus targeted investigation and individualized prevention planning. Emergency symptoms — face droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty — require immediate hospital care.
Secondary prevention plus rehabilitation planning: physiotherapy, speech and occupational therapy as needed, medication adherence support, caregiver education, and scheduled neurological follow-up.
