Reducing Risks

If by your family or personal history you know that you are vulnerable to having strokes then avoiding these can reduce your chances of having one- smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, obesity, low levels of exercise, birth control pills.

Recovery

Recovery time in a case of stroke varies from person to person as every stroke has varied effects. Stroke teams in hospitals help the person in regaining whatever bodily functions of theirs have been affected and occupational therapy is beneficial too. 

Outlook

Strokes can prove to be a serious threat to someone’s life and having one increases the chances of having another. However, a person should not live in fear and consult doctors about how to reduce the risk of having another one or any at all.

One must be constantly vigilant as stroke symptoms are easy to go unnoticed.
