Hi
rehabilitative exercises should be done.
it is normal to feel angry, anxious or depressed after a stroke.
Rehabilitation is about getting back to normal life and living as independent a life as possible. It involves taking an active approach to ensure that your life goes on. This can mean learning new skills or relearning old ones. It may involve adapting to new limitations and post-stroke condition
as you would be on all particular medicine so i will talk about rehabilitation here-
try to walk dont overexert ,set small goals and try to fullfill them
a strict control of blood pressre less then 130/70 is the target, you an go to a speach therapist and a physiotherapist. keep a strict control over blood pressre diabetes,
changed due to stroke takes time to recover
cognitive enhancers like ginko biloba and nootropil can be tried
thank you
