Surviving a stroke is just the beginning. Recovery can take time, patience, and the right medical team. At Dr. Reddy’s cardiology clinic, we play a key role in helping patients heal physically, emotionally, and mentally after a stroke.
What to Expect During Stroke Recovery
Depending on the severity of the stroke, recovery may include:
• Physical therapy to regain movement and strength
• Speech therapy to improve communication
• Occupational therapy for daily tasks
• Medications to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rhythm
Recovery can range from weeks to months, and every journey is different.
Preventing a Second Stroke
About 1 in 4 stroke survivors will have another stroke. That’s why secondary prevention is a vital part of recovery:
• Monitoring blood pressure and AFib
• Taking prescribed medications
• Attending follow-up appointments
• Making lifestyle changes to support heart health
Life after stroke may feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Dr. Reddy and his team are here to help you regain strength and reduce your risk of future events.
