# 10 subtle warning signs of brain disorders you must not ignore 2026-08-08T16:00:25+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Dr Lalji Mangukiya, a neurosurgeon at HCG Hospitals, warns that brain disorders such as tumours, stroke and Parkinson's disease often begin with subtle symptoms that people mistake for stress, ageing or fatigue. He lists ten warning signs: persistent or unusual headaches, sudden weakness or numbness on one side, speech or language changes, memory or thinking problems, vision issues, balance or coordination difficulties, personality or behaviour changes, first-time seizures in adulthood, changes in walking or movement, and persistent changes in smell or sleep. The doctor stresses that one symptom alone is usually not alarming, but new, persistent, progressive or multiple symptoms together require evaluation. Stroke symptoms such as facial drooping, one-sided weakness and sudden speech difficulty need immediate emergency care because early treatment improves outcomes. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: brain tumour, early detection, health advice, neurology, stroke, warning signs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/10-subtle-warning-signs-of-brain-disorders-you-must-not-ignore/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
