Stroke symptoms: The aha/asa mnemonic is "give me 5 for stroke": walk, talk, reach, see, feel. Be aware of sudden deficits in any of these 5 things. Prevent stroke recurrence by managing risk factors: keep systolic blood pressure below 140, LDL cholesterol below 100, blood sugar below 180. Stop smoking and illicit drugs, limit drinking to 1 a day or less. Exercise 5 days/week. Take prescribed meds as instructed.
