Youth Suffers Stroke in Gym, Recovers in 12 Days A 23-year-old pharmacy student from Hudkeshwar, Nagpur, collapsed during a gym workout on April 8 after suffering a severe brain stroke, leaving him in a critical coma with minimal chances of survival. However, the young man, Om Bhoyar, made an astonishing recovery, being discharged from the hospital just 12 days later. His case has stunned medical professionals due to the speed of his recovery and the absence of pre-existing health conditions. Bhoyar, a BPharm student and avid fitness enthusiast, experienced symptoms such as headaches and vomiting two days prior to the incident, which he and others dismissed as minor. Upon collapsing at the gym, he was rushed to a private hospital in Dhantoli. Initial assessments revealed a severe stroke, with doctors warning of a grim prognosis. An MRI confirmed an acute ischaemic stroke caused by a blood clot blocking cerebral blood flow. Emergency treatment involved an endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure where a clot was removed through a small groin puncture using specialized devices. Dr. Sachin Dhomne, an interventional radiologist involved in the operation, emphasized that timely intervention was crucial in reversing stroke damage. "The procedure restored blood flow to the brain, which is critical for recovery," he stated. Following the clot removal, Bhoyar showed rapid improvement. He was gradually taken off ventilator support, regained neurological function, and began walking independently within days. Dr. Aziz Khan, a senior cardiologist on the treatment team, noted that Bhoyar had no history of substance abuse, diabetes, or hypertension—factors typically associated with stroke risk.#nagpur #hudkeshwar #om_bhoyar #dr_sachin_dhomne #dr_aziz_khan
