Flu shot: One would not expect a flu shot to be associated with a stroke. You have a lot of risk factors. Influenza would be a significant hit to your system. I would agree with your dr. That a flu shot is a good idea.

Don't think flu: Shot was related to strke! let your pcp or cardiologist decide. You don't want to get the flu this year!
