After a stroke, proper recovery requires regular rehabilitation. Physiotherapy can help you regain movement and strength, while occupational therapy can assist with daily activities. Speech therapy may be beneficial if your speech or swallowing is affected. It is important to continue taking all prescribed blood thinners or blood pressure medications and to follow your doctor?s guidance on safe home exercises. Recovery takes time, so consistent therapy and patience are essential.

Even though your mother has recovered well, high blood pressure (BP) can still increase the risk of another stroke. It is important to monitor her BP regularly and keep a record of the readings. Ensure she takes her medications exactly as prescribed and maintains a healthy diet and weight. Encourage regular gentle exercise, avoid smoking and excess alcohol, and manage stress. If her blood pressure stays at 180 or higher, contact her doctor promptly, as her treatment may need adjustment.
