“I’m too young for a stroke.” Think again. Excessive alcohol, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity & physical inactivity can increase stroke risk. Stroke prevention starts with what you do every day — not when you reach the hospital. #PreventStroke

Your body weight can affect your stroke risk. Excess weight may increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, which can contribute to blood vessel damage and a higher risk of stroke. Healthy weight management can help reduce these risk factors.

Stroke risk is multifactorial. Hypertension, abnormal blood sugar, cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, obesity, tobacco and alcohol can all contribute to overall stroke risk. Know your risk. Act early. Prevent stroke. #StrokeRisk #PreventStroke

An irregular heartbeat can mean more than a heart problem. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can increase blood clot formation, and a clot reaching the brain can cause an ischemic stroke. Know your rhythm. Get evaluated. Follow your treatment plan. Prevent stroke. #AtrialFibrillation

The symptoms disappeared. The warning didn’t. Sudden weakness or speech difficulty that resolves may be a TIA—an important warning of possible future stroke. Don’t wait for symptoms to return. Seek urgent medical evaluation. #TIA #StrokePrevention #StrokeAwareness

Why do I need a Carotid Doppler?” Because carotid artery narrowing can develop silently. In selected high-risk individuals, Carotid Doppler can help assess these arteries and support timely management to reduce future stroke risk. #CarotidDoppler #Ultrasound #StrokePrevention
