Aspirin, an anti-thrombotic drug, is an immediate treatment after an ischemic stroke, blocking an artery, to reduce the likelihood of having another stroke.

I find it a little unsettling that complete strangers would ask complete strangers, who have NO connection to them what-so-ever, questions regarding their health care.

Good luck
