If you want to understand you have to realize that there is NO decent information on stroke rehab except for what you research yourself. Ask any stroke doctor and see if you get anything other than ' I know nothing' or the vacuous comment 'Every stroke is different, every stroke recovery is different'.

The test came back as nothing to worry about and the diagnosis was Sinus Tachycardia which it is believed is due to my being anxious and always on the alert. I was prescribed Atenolol and have taken it ever since. It keeps my pulse rate down. I have never had high blood pressure and keep myself fit and well by attending the gym and walking a lot.
I have since had further E.C.G. which also came back as Sinus Tachycardia and I was simply advised to try Yoga to relax me.
I have never heard of that before. I don't honestly see how it could cause a stroke. I know that stroke is the biggest risk of afib.

I had stroke at the age of 26. Do you know anyone that's happen to? My neurologist a
Said they couldn't find any reason this should have happen to me.
Atrial fibrillation is linked to an increased risk of stroke. The most common mechanism is sluggish blood flow in the atria which then leads to the formation of blood clots. These blood clots form in the atria and can migrate from the heart to the brain to cause a stroke. There are five major predictors of stroke in patients with AFib.
Aspirin or coumadin are for clots, (Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy), the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) recommended coumadin for atrial fibrillation patients at high risk of stroke, aspirin for patients at low risk of stroke, and either drug of patients with an intermediate risk. The ACCP defines a low-risk patient as younger than 65 years with no predisposing risk factors (e.g., previous stroke, TIA, embolism, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes).
