Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dr. Rahul Chawla specialize in? What conditions does he treat?
Dr. Rahul Chawla, a leading Migraine, Headache, Epilepsy, and Stroke specialist in Delhi, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the following neurological conditions:
What is a Neurologist?
A Neurologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Unlike a neurosurgeon who focus on surgical interventions, a neurologist like Dr. Rahul Chawla focuses on the effective medical management and treatment of complex conditions like stroke, epilepsy, neuro-infections, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, spondylosis, Parkinson’s diseases, Alzheimer’s, and other brain, spine & nerve disorders. They use advanced diagnostics such as EEG, EMG, brain MRI, and NCS to precisely evaluate symptoms and accordingly create a treatment plan.
When should I consult a neurologist instead of a general practitioner?
You should consult a neurologist if you experience persistent symptoms such as:
- severe or recurring headaches
- unexplained dizziness
- seizures or blackouts
- memory loss
- disorientation
- numbness or tingling in the limbs
- sudden muscle weakness
- tremors
- loss of balance
If you experience sudden facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, or sudden loss of vision, you may be experiencing a stroke or a neurological emergency and must immediately get medical attention from a neurologist and stroke specialist like Dr. Rahul Chawla.
Does Dr. Chawla treat spine-related issues?

These advanced diagnostic tests enable Dr. Chawla to record electrical activity in the brain, identify abnormalities and the source of brain disorders, and optimize treatment plans accordingly.
Which doctor should I consult for muscle weakness?
If you are experiencing muscle weakness, you should consult a top Neurologist in Delhi like Dr. Rahul Chawla who specializes in treating neuromuscular disorders. While muscle weakness may sometimes just be fatigue or a general health problem, a Neurologist can help determine if the issue originates in the brain, spine, peripheral nerves, or the muscle. Dr. Chawla does so by using specialized diagnostic tools like EMG (Electromyography) for muscle-related diseases or NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies) to assess nerve compression or damage.
When is it urgent?
- Sudden muscle weakness
- Muscle weakness only on one side of the body
- Muscle weakness accompanied by difficulty speaking or swallowing

- T for Time to Call: If any of these symptoms appear (even if they go away), you must immediately go to the hospital and consult a Neurologist.
For Strokes & TIA (Mini Strokes), time is everything. Reaching the hospital within 3-4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms can help prevent permanent disability and ensure full recovery. Dr. Rahul Chawla is a trusted Stroke Specialist in Delhi who prioritizes rapid assessments, emergency care initiation, and brain preservation.
How does an MRI Brain scan help diagnose neurological diseases?
An MRI Brain is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technique that generates high-resolution 3D imaging of the brain structures through the use of powerful magnets and radio waves. They are used to detect infections, tumors, stroke damage, and aneurysms.
When is dizziness a neurological concern?
If your dizziness is accompanied by double vision, slurred speech, or a loss of balance (disequilibrium), it could be an indication of a central nervous system problem and you should consult a neurologist. If you are experiencing vertigo or persistent dizziness, you should consult a trusted neurologist in New Delhi like Dr. Rahul Chawla to rule out neurological issues.
How do I know if I’m having a seizure and what should I do next?
Seizures aren’t always dramatic convulsions; they may manifest in the following ways too:
- Sudden, uncontrollable jerking movements of arms or legs

- Loss of muscular control/ dropping to the ground
- Staring blankly into space (even for a few seconds)

What does persistent 'pins and needles' or numbness in my hands and feet signify?
