What to Do Instead of Having Another Stroke
About one in four stroke survivors suffers a second one — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take this checklist to your next doctor’s visit, and ask about ways to reduce your risk by creating a prevention plan.
High Blood Pressure is the no. 1 controllable risk factor for stroke.
Work with your doctor to keep your blood pressure in a healthy range (under 120/80).
Up to 80% of second clot-related strokes may be preventable.*
When you’ve had a stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack), it’s likely that you’re at risk for another. It is important to know the type of stroke you had and its underlying cause to build the best plan to prevent another. If you don’t know the type or cause of your stroke, talk to your doctor about whether more testing is needed.
Following your doctor's direction and pharmacist's guidance after stroke is crucial to reducing your risk for another stroke.
