4. How Long Do the Side Effects of an Ischemic Stroke Last?
How long complications last following an ischemic stroke depends on how long the body and brain have been deprived of oxygen, where the stroke occurred, and how severe it was.
For some, memory and motor issues may be permanent. Physical therapy may help people to relearn basic activities, such as walking, speaking, and eating. Learning how to manage symptoms may be necessary for adults with permanent effects.
