I had an ischemic stroke, and they never figured out why. That was very hard for me to deal with and accept. I wanted to know why so I could make lifestyle changes, but not knowing the cause was very frustrating for me. It took time and counseling for me to make peace with the not knowing, and move forward
Same here. They call mine cryptogenic.
My doctor said my stroke at 34 yrs old was my blood pressure mixed with the mthfr gene that I didn't know I had
As a nurse I need to ask all these questions and it helped a lot! Encourage everyone that watches your Channel to follow up with a doctor and make sure these questions are answered
A had a cavernoma. Stroke. Unfortunately very few people know what that is. It was in the left cerebellum another little known area. As this was a congenital condition I as a retired neuropsychologist I knew my lifestyle had nothing to do with it but as an avid walker,surfer, and kayaker I had to quit these. Took 6 months to learn how to walk. I also am a stage 4 prostate cancer survivor so if it’s not one thing it’s another. I’ve had a lot of time to watch utube videos. You are doing a good job. I appreciate you.
Chronic stress and high blood pressure were the cause for my hemoragic stroke at age 42.
Love this channel
Don't bother if you live in the UK, unless your GP is private. The NHS doesn't care.
All my docs say it's a life changing event their answer to every question. All of them have been so awesome. Thank you for your help and answering all my questions with videos and knowledge to keep me motivated and busy.
Thanks for your concern and for sharing such good information.
Another great video. Be gentle to yourself.

Pozole thank you, my doctor a thoracic serguen seemed not to know much about this I had a “simple” varicose vein procedure so they would not interfere with my work, this was 13 years ago, I have never returned to work
Well here in Trinidad they still can't give me answers 3 years in.
