Had a Stroke

2018-06-28 15:41:12
What would have caused my sister-in-law aged 72 to have a stroke - never smoked, not over weight (5ft 4ins/5ft 5ins and around 91/2 stone) and only has the odd social wine. It didn't appear to be a severe stroke as talking and walking the next day

Is she hypertensive or diabetic? Stroke doesn't have to occur only in smokers or alcoholics.with age atherosclerosis occurs in vessels .sometime a small atherosclerotic fragment dislodges and migrates and produces stroke.there are wide variety of strokes.hypertension can produce haemorrhagic stroke.then there are genetic causes,haematological,cardiac etc and so on.stroke can occur even in children.the treatment depends on type of stroke
