My great-grandmother and my pop both have had serious strokes and i naturally panicked when i discovered that these could be heradatory. No one else in my family are aware of anyone else in my family line having them. Also how can i prevent them?

Don't smoke. Smoking significantly increases your risk of having a stroke.

no smoking, drinking, NO BIRTHCONTROL AS IT IS PROVEN THAT IT CAN CAUSE STROKES.have your blood checked for v factor leiden, protein C, MTHFR clotting disorder, etc. I had a stroke 2 yrs. ago (I was only 37 yrs. old) and was tested for a bunch of clotting disorders. Come to find out I have MTHFR genetic clotting disorder (body throws clots at any time). it runs in the family..who knew.My grandmother on my mom's side is prone to clotting and strokes. she's had many over the past 10 yrs.see your primary MD. It's a simple test. You can get a 2nd opinion and see a hemotoloigst (blood specialist) who can do more tests to r/o any more clotting problems.
