Three months ago my mother (age -53 ) had a hemorrhage in left thalamus due to hypertension which stops movement of right side of body. 

During recovery after one month  she had another hemorrhage at same place. Although second one had no further physical effect on body. 

Now she is regaining her muscle and speech movement very quickly. 

But today she had a minor haemorrhage in basal ganglia and she felt dizziness and she is in hospital at present. 

Now I want to ask is, How many more haemorrhage can occur in future. And is there anybody who is going through same situation. 

Her blood pressure after the medicines remain between 125- 160 for most of the day.

Hi Kanwar,

 

We’re so sorry to hear that your mother has had a number of strokes recently.

 

Thank you so much for joining the EnableMe community and reaching out.

 

You aren’t alone. There are many others who also wonder whether they or their family will have more strokes in the future. It’s a question that we unfortunately don’t know the answer to.

 

What we do know though is there are a number of things your mother’s team and you can do to support in reducing the likelihood of having more strokes.

 

This blog is great place to start.

 

It takes you through the key things to think about.

 

The first and most important one is knowing why your mother’s stroke happened. We call these risk factors. Her doctors will be able to tell you what these are and how they are being managed.

 

You did mention she has high blood pressure. High BP is a common risk factor of stroke. Check in with her doctors to be reassured that her blood pressure is being managed as best as it can be. This Blood Pressure handout may help you start the conversation.

 

Ask your mothers doctors whether she has other risk factors.

 

Kanwar, there may be others in a similar situation to yours in this community. They may share their experiences with you too.

 

Please do contact us directly if you’d like to chat after speaking with your mothers doctors or to support your conversations with them.

 

Wishing you and your mother all the very best,

 

Lisa
