Medication

Hi Steven, Jude from StrokeLine here. 

It's tough when a cause for your stroke can't be found. It's good to talk to your doctor about what tests have been done to find the cause, so you can be assured everything that can be investigated has been. 

It's also important to talk to your doctor why they have prescribed particular medications. There is good evidence about what medications are effective in reducing the risk of another stroke. Antihypertensives and statins are effective in reducing the risk of another stroke, even if blood pressure and cholesterol levels are within normal ranges. If you want to do a deeper dive, check out the stroke guidelines. Living Clinical Guidelines for Stroke… | InformMe - Stroke Foundation
