Hello,
To prevent a future stroke you should keep your blood pressure within normal range and prevent it from increasing suddenly taking medications.
You can modify your lifestyle by losing weight, exercising more, stop smoking and alcohol if you already do.
Also, the treatment of diabetes and atrial fibrillation, if possible cause, can help reduce stroke chances. You can use Aspirin as a prevention measure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
