How to cure or prevent brain stroke?


Answer:
One of the main causes of stroke is high blood pressure. Be sure to keep your blood pressure under control by eating a healthy diet and getting some regular exercise. If you are overweight, losing even as little as ten pounds can make a healthy difference in your blood pressure. Sometimes, even with diet and exercise, blood pressure remains high. If this is the case, there are many wonderful medications available that can keep your blood pressure at a normal level.
you cant CURE a stroke, and if you want to prevent one, get an MRI and bloodwork done to check for clotting
know a stroke's warning signs and control a stroke's risk factors... Warning signs are clues your body sends that your brain is not receiving enough oxygen. If you observe one or more of these signs of a stroke or "brain attack," don't wait, call a doctor or 911 right away! *Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
*Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
*Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
*Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
*Sudden severe headache with no known causeOther danger signs that may occur include double vision, drowsiness, and nausea or vomiting. Sometimes the warning signs may last only a few moments and then disappear. These brief episodes, known as transient ischemic attacks or TIAs, are sometimes called "mini-strokes." Although brief, they identify an underlying serious condition that isn't going away without medical help. Unfortunately, since they clear up, many people ignore them
To prevent a stroke maintain your cardiovascular health. Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol. If needed take medications to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. If over 50 take an aspirin a day. Exercise and eat right.To cure a stroke after it happens get to the ER immediately. The Doctors will run an MRI to find out what type of stroke, a clot or a bleed. With a clot TPA is given to break it up (needs to be given within 2 hrs of onset of symptoms).
