BF_in_Indiana Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I just read that article and it doesn't say anything about a stroke. He just admitted himself because he was having headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjeff215 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I believe the first thing most docs will do when they run into someone complaining of a headache is snap a CT to look for abnormalities such as tumors or adema. I'd be more worried of something like that, honestly. Then again, I'm no doctor, I just stayed at a holiday inn express last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mary owen Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's awful and I hope he's alright, but a stroke is most likely a sign he is using something he shouldn't be. 242929[/snapback] BF, Strokes can be caused by previous neck or head injuries as well. More likely that than what you are quick to speculate about. But then again, you never know... STROKE RISKS High blood pressure is the number one reason that you might have a stroke. The risk of stroke is also increased by age, family history of stroke, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Certain medications promote clot formation and may increase your chances for a stroke. One example is birth control pills, especially if a woman taking them also smokes and is older than 35. Women have a risk of stroke during pregnancy and the weeks immediately after pregnancy. Overall, however, more men have strokes than women. Cocaine use, alcohol abuse, head injury, and bleeding disorders increase the risk of bleeding into the brain. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/ar...0risk%20factors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope whatever is wrong with him IS natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
