How come doctors keep pushing the pill when i get stroke signs?

? BCP ?: Not sure what you mean by "stroke signs", as migraine auras may be quite similar. However, if you take bcp's, smoke, and have classical migraine, stroke risk is far elevated. Wonder if you might do best by getting a visit with a local neurologist.
