Recognise the signs and act
Sudden facial drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty are warning signs. Sudden vision or balance problems may also occur. Call 112 or 194 immediately in Croatia, even if the symptoms resolve. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.
Follow-up after hospital treatment
Bring your discharge summary, test reports and medication list. The review considers remaining difficulties, blood pressure and other risk factors. Further investigation and treatment are tailored to the type of stroke, previous findings and comorbidities.
Support for everyday life
Rehabilitation goals may focus on walking, using an arm, speech, memory or independence. Different professionals may be involved according to need, and family support is important. Recovery varies between individuals. Follow-up aims to monitor changing needs and adjust the plan, without promising a particular outcome.
