Brain cyst or stroke: Long-term strategies for patients

Stroke is a deadly disease because it leads to more morbidity than mortality. These patients can be divided into 2 groups: minor deficits and independent; dependent for daily needs.

The patients who improved after stroke should consider themselves lucky, and it's like re-birth. They have to change their lifestyle and be strict with their daily routine. They should do regular exercise and have a strict diet pattern. Sleep and meditation are equally important. Abstinence from smoking and alcohol is imperative. Also, regular visits to treating doctors and daily consumption of prescribed medicines are of utmost importance. In the event of repeat stroke-like symptoms, they should immediately rush to a stroke-ready hospital, which has facilities for CT scan, MRI, and Neurocathlab.
