                      If you have had stroke or minor stroke symptoms before, then the likelihood of a recurrence will largely increase. The risk of stroke for someone who has already had one is 15 times that of a person who has not. The chance of having a stroke also increases with age. Thus, it is critical to follow the doctor’s instructions about medication dosages and maintain a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
