What should be done when someone is having tia stroke and refuses to go to hospital? are there certain things that could be done to stop the stroke?

Other than giving an: Aspirin, there no way to prevent a stroke. An outpatient work-up can be assessed as to what else can precipitate a stroke, such as a carotid study and echocardiogram of the heart.

Tia: If one is having a tia, give him 2 asprin as soon as possible , and have the person lie flat-this establishes the best circulation to the brain. When things have quieted down, persuade him to see a physician who will keep him on Aspirin and order the tests to check for blockages in his carotid arteries, look at a brain ct scan and check for abnormalities in his heart. Convince him.

Stroke: Begin with giving an Aspirin with a sip of water. Then call 911. If the patient continues to deteriorate he/she will not be able to say no to a visit to a primary stroke center. If the patient recovers then make an urgent appointment to a stroke neurologist to prevent a recurrence of the symptoms.

Potentially a risk: As you are likely aware, a TIA is a profound stroke risk, and needs to be addressed preventatively. Aspirin might help prevent if taken daily, but better approaches are available.
