Would you please explain purpose of seeing neurologist post-stroke?

Update on Neurologist appointment yesterday:
We discussed everything thoroughly, he prescribed an echocardiogram, and said to stop the blood thinner Clopidogrel (Plavix), and replace it with baby aspirin.
Recommended discussing possible hypertension meds increase with Primary Care doc because BP still too high (159/79 in doc's office). Have been taking 30mg Lisinopril daily and 1/2 of a 25mg Metoprolol Tartrate tablet 2x/day.
Which one do you think he will increase?

Just realized I hadn't reported that Primary Care doc added Amlodipine 2.5 mg. BP has come down since then, and I rarely need to take it now. Last week's average was 130/66.
