Early Detection

A stroke is one of the most preventable of all life-threatening health problems. Some risk factors are controllable and others (such as age, family history, race and sex) are not. Help reduce your stroke risk:

  • Get regular medical check-ups.
  • Know the warning signs of a stroke. If you or someone near you shows these signs, call 911 right away.
  • Follow your doctor’s medication and treatment orders carefully, especially if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. Don’t change, add or stop medication without talking to your doctor.
  • If you have atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), work with your doctor to control it.
  • Stop smoking.
  • If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
  • Control your weight.
  • Manage diabetes.
  • Check and control your cholesterol levels.
  • Follow a healthy eating plan, including monitoring sodium intake.
  • Get regular exercise.
  • Learn to manage stress.
  • Talk to your doctor about using birth control pills with caution, especially if you smoke or have migraine headaches.
