What Causes Multiple Strokes While Treating High BP?

My sister has had several strokes and needs to see a neurology sometime in the next week. She has been hospitalized several times and has done therapy for numbness to her leg and arm. Not sure who would be able to help her. She does suffer from high blood pressure. Doctors I have looked up say they help patients that suffer epilepsy, Parkinson s disease or ALS. Never mind, I did not know I had to pay to try and find a neurologist

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!

I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

I read carefully your question and understand your concern. As your sister has suffered several strokes, you should know that the main therapy is to prevent possible future strokes. In this regard, the blood thinner and control of her cardio-vascular risk factors (a better control of high blood pressure or diabetes, dyslipidemia, avoiding smoking contacts, etc. ) is necessary.
Physiotherapy is the main cure to her limb numbness and to prevent possible muscle cramps. Unfortunately there are no special drugs for this medical condition.
Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
