Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern and would explain that these symptoms may be related to anxiety. Have you measured her blood pressure during these episodes? It is important to prevent another stroke. So it is important to control her blood pressure, using an effective antihypertensive therapy. Statins, which lower her cholesterol levels, are necessary to be taken daily, to prevent another stroke. The last, but not the least would be anti-platelet therapy or anti-coagulation (based on the type of stroke she has had (atherothrombotic or thromboembolic). You should discuss with her doctor on the above mentioned issues. Meanwhile some modifications to her lifestyle (a healthy diet with low salt intake and low fat, a lot of physical exercise) and the treatment of other health disorder (cardiac disorders, diabetes, etc), which could be a risk factor for a possible stroke, is needed. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Iliri
