My son 44, has just had his 3rd brain stem bleeding stroke. They say it is not fatal--but it IS DIBILITATING! Is their any medication to prevent further strokes or any treatment for this? He is unnder the care of two excellent MDs but they just seem to say that this will continue to happen but you will not die from it.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor A stroke can be debilitating as you stated and this is especially so if a person has either a massive stroke or repeated strokes as in your sons case. If there are specific risk factors that are increasing your sons risk of stroke, these can be ad Chat Doctor. In stroke prevention, it would be important to maintain normal blood pressure, control blood sugar and cholesterol. It would also be important to reduce risk factors such as smoking and alcohol use. I hope this helps
