Annual Stroke Review

1

Hi everyone I’m pleased to say I got through my annual stroke review with flying colours today. Blood pressure good, cholesterol level good and just as an added bonus, I’ve lost a little bit of weight since last year too :clap: :clap:. I’m so pleased, I’ve been trying really hard to keep my weight down as I’m not as mobile as I used to be.

I don’t know why but I always feel a bit anxious when my review is due. Another year over :blush:.

Great news @Susan_Jane it’s strange how we always get anxious when we have medical appointments. Glad yours went really well. Your efforts are clearly paying off xx

I was told whilst in hospital that I would be reviewed on a 3 monthly basis for the first year. That went well then :rofl:

I didn’t know such a thing existed! I cannot help feeling quite envious. I’m glad it went well for you. Moira. :bouquet:

Hi Moira, it might be worth mentioning this to your GP. My appointment was with a lovely nurse who was very thorough and informative. It’s also an opportunity to raise any worries or concerns you might have.

Hi, my GP does an annual stroke review. Blood test, cholesterol check, weight, and blood pressure and an opportunity to discuss current medication and a chance to ask any queries or concerns. My review was carried out by one of the practice nurses, who was very thorough and informative.

Judging by the responses to my post, don’t think that all gp’s do this but it’s worth asking.

I hope your husband’s recovery is going well.

Regards Sue
