Once you have had a stroke or a TIA we concentrate on PREVENTING this happening again. This is why the specialist, in conjunction with your GP, will make sure that your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar is closely monitored. You will have some tests on your heart done to see if that is the cause of the stroke or TIA. You will be encouraged to have a healthy diet and do exercise every day.

This way the chance of having another event is minimised.
