According to the American Stroke Association (ASA), about one in four stroke survivors suffers a second one. But it doesn’t have to be that way; preventing a second stroke starts with you.

Treatment options to prevent future strokes can be tailored to individual situations. Work with your doctor to create a plan that reduces your risks and addresses your specific goals, concerns, and circumstances.

The ASA provides the following tips to help prevent a second stroke:

• Work with your doctor to identify the cause of your stroke or previously unknown risk factors. Jointly create a formal program to live a healthier lifestyle that includes exercise, education, and counseling.
• Attend all your follow-up appointments.
• Take recommended medications.
• Manage your risk factors.
• Connect with a support group.

More than half a million people experience a stroke every year in the United States. According to the American Stroke Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 80% of strokes may be preventable by managing key risk factors.

The most important steps include controlling high blood pressure, managing diabetes and high cholesterol, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol. Conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib) should also be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Stroke prevention is often possible with consistent lifestyle changes and proper medical care. Talk with your healthcare provider about your stroke risk and how to reduce it.
