title: Ask the doctor. I am a 70-year-old man with high blood pressure that I control with medication, diet, and exercise. My mother, aunt, and maternal grandfather all died in their 50s after a single stroke. Is there an inherited tendency to hemorrhagic stroke? Are there any precautions I can take?
