Duplex carotid & ASA: 50% of strokes in people with minor stroke happen within 6 weeks so get duplex and if greater then 50% stenosis on correct side then get surgery asap. Take 81 mg asa a day not more.

Check for cause: Needs ultrasound of carotid arteries to check for narrowing. Ekg to check for atrial fibrillation. Please take Aspirin if ok with his doctor. No smoking. Take blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds ( statins ) if ordered by his physician.
