Do you smoke?

Smoking doubles your risk of stroke!
Smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to have a stroke, and at an earlier age. Quitting will improve your health right away and in the future. Within 20 minutes of quitting, your blood pressure and heart rate will begin to improve. After up to 15 years of quitting, your risk of having a stroke is around the same as someone who has never smoked.

Hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke!
Uncontrolled hypertension can cause stroke by weakening blood vessels, making them more vulnerable to damage and blockage and cause a stroke. However, it is easy to diagnose and control.

Do you have irregular heart rhythm or palpitations?
Yes
No
I don't know
Some irregular heart rhythm may be due to Atrial Fibrillation, which is a risk factor of stroke.
In fact, heart rhythm irregularities accounts for more than 15% of ischemic strokes! Common irregular heart beats can cause blood to stagnate in the heart and form clots. It can cause a stroke if the blood clots travel to the brain.

What is your cholesterol level?
Greater than 180 mg/dL
Lower than 180 mg/dL
I don't know
High cholesterol levels can increase your risk of stroke!
When you have too much bad cholesterol in your blood, fatty deposits can build up in your arteries. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the arteries, thereby increasing your risk of stroke.
