My Dad suffered his second massive stroke October 7th 2020 just after 5 year's from his first massive stroke. I wish I had a happy ending but sadly at a young 61 and beating diabetes type2 being on insulin and beating it so much he did need insulin anymore. He was good with diet and exercised his whole life. My Dad was life superman in the flesh. After his first stroke he lost all his weight and he was solid muscle. He was still solid muscle but not a bit of fat on him. Sadly I lost my precious Daddy 21 days after his stroke because he couldn't breathe. My Dad will forever be my best friend I miss him every second of everyday. It kills me the longer we are apart.
Love you Dad Always and Forever xoxo
My sincerest Condolences 💐
Plant based diet can reverse heart disease
I’m sorry for your loss 🥺❤️
An awesome dad he was. You were lucky you got to know him. Always remember that he was so proud to have you as his kid.
I know this is commemt is a year old but I just wanted to say I am so sorry. I truly understand and know your loss. I wonder how you are and hope you are ok. I’m sure your daddy is still with you every step of the way like I’m sure my daddy is. It’s such a shock even years later. ♥️♥️
1. Blood pressure is too high
2. Blood sugar is high especially with uncontrolled diabetes which damages blood vessels
3. You are a smoker (stop smoking)
4. High cholesterol
5. Obesity (lose weight at the table, gain strength at the gym, don’t drink soda)
High cholesterol? Are we still on that wagon
Thank you for the breakdown. I wish the videos had a little bit more polish and had some graphics with numbers for each point.
Mister Tea yesssss
High total cholesterol is generally meaningless. What is meaningful is your triglyceride/HDL ratio. Closer to 1 the better.
@@mossback7231 no one has ever had 1 cholesterol or triglyceride, what a stupid statement
My sister had what we thought was a tia. She lost the ability to speak and was numb on one side. It happened a couple of times but then would go away within minutes. She was checked out for tia but was diagnosed with an Aura Migrane. Kudos to my sister that she gave up coffee (I was horrified), anything with caffeine, chocolate and no longer eats red meat. She never smoked, never overweight. I know how scary it is when a loved one is sick. My sister is 15 years older than me and to my twin sister and I, our five older siblings are our life. I remember just crying when told my big sister had gone to the hospital. So, for anyone going through serious health issues I empathize.
Hey i have the same problem and i am just 18 years old it happenes between the gaps of months some times like 5 or 6 months the worst mistake i did was to search my symptoms on google couse it said i have tia and i am definitely going to have a stroke i literally cried.but then i searched on yt about how you should never google your symptoms and now i read you comment my condition feels more like migrane but ill go for a check up thanks
In 2015 my hubby got up in middle of night to use rr. Upon laying back down he was hit with classic "thunderclap" headache. This was also 6 days after orthopedic surgery. I work in the medical field (OT..ironically often with stroke survivors) I pretty much knew he'd "thrown a clot" having a stroke. Called 911, got him to ER fast. Only to have ER Dr insist it was an atypical migraine. Nothing I said made a difference..nothing. 30 hours too late for tPA we were told, "Your husband has had a stroke". I still can't discuss it without getting upset. Sadly one can do everything right, yet still not get care that is oh so necessary.
Jacee K ..had one myself and remembered to ask for tpa at hospital but was told it was to late before i thik i slipped into unconciousness and yet now can not remember what that stands for..
Jaycee the arrogance of doctors is infuriating
that is so sad. it is a matter of luck, really. i was lucky with the guys from the ambulance who told me right away what it might be and i live in a so-called underdeveloped country.
@Susan Fagan
My guy is actually doing better than expected. He also has MS, but he's a tough guy. The stroke was a cerebellar stroke..and in the land of strokes if one has to choose which type to have, it's 1 of the ones that can have a better outcome/prognosis.
Thank you for asking.
@@MR..181
I'm so sorry you had a stroke too.
tPA stands for tissue plasminogen activator. Which shows why it's called tPA for short..lol. Or even a person can say "that drug that busts up clots".
It can't be used if the stroke is hemorrhagic (not a clot, but a bleed) as it would cause the bleeding to be worse. Maybe the medical people you asked about it weren't sure what type you had?..
I hope you're doing as well as you can be.
I got a TIA due to a low carb high fat & meat diet which gave me heart arrythmia and damaged arteries. The TIA destroyed my balance system, it was terrible. When I strongly reduced all animal products and increased all types of veggies and fruits and nuts etc, I lost weight, got normal cholesterol again and my heart arrythmia dissapeared and my dizziness is almost gone - but the whole healing journey took more than 2 years. You dont only loose weight at the table, you will also determine your health with your food choices.
That's interesting. I've been looking at the KETO diet, which seems to be what you are describing. I'm not particularly overweight but have some digestion issues and raised cholesterol and wondered if this might help. I was feeling a bit nervous about increasing fat intake to the levels recommended and your post has increased my suspicions that this might not be a great idea. Think I'll follow your example and go down the veggie road, probably with less carbs. Hope you continue to recover.
@@PurpleWhirple Thanks for asking. From my terrible experience with 2.5 years with keto I can only strongly advise against lowcarb. Your cholesterol will rise even more and you will not lose fat. You will develop a variety of possible health damages.
The optimal diet for humans is established:
food-guide.canada.ca/en/
Just follow that and learn from this place:
Nutritionfacts.org
And follow the principles of the Mediterranean diet and you will have the best chances to maintain best health. Good luck!
@@PurpleWhirple im doing keto for years. never have problem so far thanks god I reduced my bloodpressure and reversed my prediabetic with Keto.. no one diet can fit all..everyone is different. ..
Thank you, John.
Sounds like you weren't doing a few things right and you are blaming just low carbs, heart arrhythmia and damaged arteries just through eating meat and low carbs which is very helpful for many, sounds like you dont know for sure
Brad spoke a key point. You can have one and not realize. You may know something isn't quite right, but you don't know what.
"Lose weight at the table, gain strength at the gym". What a great summary!!
Also they said exercise, but mostly, cut down on sugar AND fat! So simple and correct.
Y
@Hold Manythings what type of herbs?
Have had 3 TIAs over 12 years now. My left arm/hand is a tiny bit weaker, but didn’t affect my leg. My Mom had over 20 strokes altogether. They started when she was in her mid-50s and lived to 79. She had many serious health issues but was a truly amazing woman!
SIGNS OF STROKE::: left side neck arm pain, slurry speech, can't smile, face dropping to 1 side, difficult swallowing.
REASONS FOR STROKE::: worrying too much, high blood pressure, high diebetes/ sugar levels.
CURE/ PREVENTION- diet, exercise. Eat fruits to LOWER blood pressure.
For inflammation eat raw root turmeric haldi.
Tea bags r giving headaches so can't be trusted. And eating too much sugar and sweetners give dark circles , loss of hair, memory loss.
herpes can be caught smoking the hookah pipe.
Hepatitis can be cured by coconut water.
Lipoma LUMPS gone by fasting, eating omega 3, raw turmeric, drinking more water, exercising, massaging body BEFORE breakfast dinner . Plz AVOID cakes , muffins, doughnuts, fizzy drinks fried foods, soy sauce as they cause LUMPS. GET MOVING- you will notice that tingling sensation on LUMPS after drinking fizzy/ exercising- proof.
LACK OF WATER , CIRCULATION also cause of LUMPS in body. I spent over £1,000 on homeopathic tablets but to be honest he put turmeric in those tablets. Surgery never the cure my aunt knew girl living near her n she got so many operations. Never the cure.
To prevent strokes eat Apple banana n pears.
To lower blood pressure immediately plz eat banana. Fruits can LOWER blood pressure and by drinking more water throughout the day. - plz avoid drinking n eating while standing n walking it's bad for the heart.
Fibroids can be prevented by Avoiding chicken liver, tomato seeds, white flour so doughnuts cakes white sugars. Creams.
Hey @Cathy Laycock, hope you and your mother is doing well.. I have a herb spray consisting of natural herbs which would definitely help with your situation.. WhatsApp me so I can share more info and video testimonials

Wow. I just had a TIA misdiagnosed twice as a migraine. May I ask if your mum or you have a hole in your heart (PFO) and if so, did you get it closed over? Xx
I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this. No we haven’t had holes in our hearts.
I had all kinds of symptoms including hallucinations. I went to the hospital twice, and the walk in clinic once. They all called me crazy and sent me home. Then one morning it happened while I was at my daughters. I was paralyzed and ended up peeing on her floor, because I couldn't walk to the bathroom. My daughter accused my of being mentally ill and ruining her life and told me to get out. My own doctor acted like I was bothering her because I was slurring my words. Thankfully my legs came back and I made a full recovery, but I lost a lot of familly and friends, because my daughter had convinced them all that I was mentally ill and always after sympathy and attention and ruining her life. I was shunned by everyone. It was so bad that I even attempteed suicide. My daughter told me that nobody cares if I kill myself and that she cares less and less everyday. It's really hard when reaching out for help just makes things a million times worse. Those people aren't in my life anymore and I have a new doctor now, so I hope things keep getting better.
That’s horrible ur daughters seriously messed up for treating you like that
@Jen I'm glad you survived your stroke. It sounds like you had a massive stroke. Mine was just a mini stroke, and it was confirmed by a brain MRI. It was brought on by a shingles outbreak on my face and directly on my eye, covering my pupil. I fell asleep on my daughter's couch, and I woke up freezing cold. It was a cold that I had never felt before. I was shivering so violently that I looked like I was having a seizure. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom, but when I stood up to go, my legs became paralyzed and I couldn't leave the position I was standing in. I stood there for one to two minutes and then ended up peeing on the floor. After I peed, I regained feeling in my legs. It didn't last long, but it was very real. My symptoms were: unconciousness, hallucinations, paralysis, speech problems, loss of bladder control, feeling ice cold and a headache from hell! You may not recognize these as symptoms of a stroke, but they most certainly are. Again, I'm glad you survived. I hope you have had a lot of support.
Sorry to hear that. It's very hurting when the one you loved with your whole heart back off from you in your ill moment.
My advice to you is to find Jesus Christ, in Him you will find comfort when there seem to be none. If you find the Church of Christ in your area don't hesitate to visit them.
God is the answer.
@@ericorleansboham9084 Thank-you for trying to help; I know you meant well. I used to believe in God and go to church, but I no longer do. I like myself so much more as a non believer. Three years ago, Christopher Hitchens opened my eyes to the truth, and I have been atheist ever since. I'm currently listening to Hemant Mehta read the Bible. It's quite a horrible book, and I feel embarassed for ever thinking it was good. I suggest everyone go to his channel, "The Friendly Atheist," and listen to him read the Bible.
@jen1762 You literally have no clue. Lots of people have mini strokes.
The book works! I stopped smoking after 17yrs using Allan Carrs audio book. The best thing about is you still smoke while listening to or reading the book as Allan breaks down the conditioning surrounding the addiction to smoking. When I did stop, it was no where near as bad as other methods I had tried and failed with. The first week was the hardest (still easy in comparison to previous attempts), but I would just jump up and down a few times when ever I got a craving. After that I got cravings once or twice a day. You need to hit the 28day no smoking mark to truly break the habit. If you smoke you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying this method. Give it a shot!
Is it a Hypnosis type Method ?
Mind over Matter type thing?
I have written this down, ty
@@downbntout Glad to help
@@Laura-hk4th So sorry Laura, I've just seen your reply. It's a mind over matter method. The way Allan breaks it down made so much sense and really helps to reduce the struggle that there can be with fighting the cravings
I smoked 42 years pack a day. Quit cold turkey with that book.
Mine was 16 years ago and I never did the medication thing and haven’t had a stroke - I’m very healthy and workout regularly
When I was 10 years old, I was watching TV alone with my grandmother (88) and I witnessed her having a stroke. She slumped down and there was facial droop on one side. She could not talk. It scared me, and I ran and got my mother. She ended up dying within a few weeks from complications from the stroke. She never smoked, but had fallen about 6 months earlier and broke her hip.
Docs...I'm 57. I stopped smoking when I was 27. Smoked for 14 years. Aside from that, in 2019 I started feeling numbness in my upper lip & various small spots on my limbs & back. Never suspected stroke. However, I finally complained about brain issues (confusion, anxiety, brain fog & balance) enough for my dr to send me to the neuro, who ordered an MRI, nerve tests & eeg. 6 Weeks after those tests my gp's secretary called me to say everything was normal. More than a year later (3/2021) things did not feel normal (in fact they had gotten progressively worse) so I called the neuro & she looked at the tests (from 1/2020) & said I had had a small stroke...but no one told her - or ME! Now I've been experiencing tremors & spasms & did a 2nd MRI which shows more damage since the first but the neuro says nothing to worry about...what?!!!😡
You guys do a great service with your excellent, easy-to-understand videos ... just want to say a big “thank you”! 👍
This sounds very difficult to tell if you suffer alot with anxiety and panic attacks
Yeah honestly I’m sitting over here panicking rn because I’ve had half these signs😩
I have a bunch of these signs.
The pain is undeniable during a stroke. It's the worst pain I've EVER felt. I thought I was having a migraine until I slumped over and couldn't remember basics.
@@Gittadone I hope you're ok now..... how old where you when it happened if you dont mind me asking? My cousin had one recently at only 45 which wasn't too severe thank God
@@Gittadone is it nerve pain? A very sharp nerve pain? By any chance? All over the body
Hi, Bob & Brad, my uncle passed away from a stroke last year. Thank you for this PSA. I hope that it will save someone. Take care.
Cold turkey I quit drugs I quit smoking after 50 years and I feel great I'm going to keto diet taking all my vitamins high quality and minerals very important lots of vegetables and fruits
I had one years ago, but it was related to medication for migraine. Never happened again, thank God.
If you don't mind me asking what medication were you on
what type of medication?
I was going to work one day, I sat down on sofa,and told my family, I only can see half of everything. The other half was black. Called work off. Instead for me found out I had large tumor in lower half crushing my insides. I did notice I could only eat small amounts. Felt car sick. Had it removed. I went from 137 to 115. They said it was very big. My sister at same time,had headaches & seen white moons. We both seen things not there too. Weird. She had brain tumor. Watch for weird signs.
I had a stroke. I thought I was having a horrible migraine, it left me blind, with only a golf ball size circle of vision in my r. Eye. I went to the hospital 3 days in and was put in the neuro ICU for a week. After returning home I needed physical therapy to learn to walk, and it took me weeks to figure out my computer again.
Because I could see with my limited vision I was able to read, with great difficulty, enough to see that the source of my problem was a deficiency in phoisohiric acid
Quitting smoking was by far, one of the most difficult things I have had to do.
Good for you, though! 👍
Same
Hope you stick with it!
With you on that one. I remember 'planning my next minute', including planning time. I always thank myself for not taking up alcohol.
I kept telling myself,"You made it 1 day, you can make it 2 days.". Then "You made it 2 (3,4,5...)days, you can do 1 more". 4th of July will be 2 years of not smoking after 49 years of smoking! Go me!
I had thunderclap headaches for two weeks, told a doc & he said I was over medicating of pain killers. Then it got weird and I went to the hospital. Told them I think I had a stroke and I was admitted and released two days later. Haven’t had a headache since
Was it from the pain killers? And if so what type
My personal advice to anyone that thinks they've had a TIA, have an ultrasound done on your carotid arteries checking for blockages. It has been shown that 1 in 3 strokes are caused from this. A simple surgery can remove the blockage. Ask me how I know.
Yes, insist on having your carotid artery’s checked. 57 here have found out recently 3 arteries are over 80% blocked.
Great advice but unfortuanately too many doctors will not take you seriously. My experience has been to get blown off when you tell a doctor your symptoms.
That's a huge neglect! I'm horrified! Scans, blood-test, medication and life-style advice is the least they should do. See my reply to "marie Lisa" in this thread! Take charge and be your own best nurse!
They don't care what happens to women. Male doctors are taught that women are lonely and simply seeking attention from them. That's the truth.
Hey @crazeedogs, doctors shouldn't be the go to for all things. Effective remedies are out there. WhatsApp me so I can share a herb remedy which can help recovery for stroke-

I had several TIAs in the year or two after a serious auto accident. Head images show that I have had them. At the time of the TIAs I had a temporary (5-10 minutes) confusion as to where I was and what I was doing. I was 55-57 during that time. I am 72 now.
Wow!! A great inspiration to stroke survivors!!
Thanks for sharing your story 💙💙🙏🙏
Never had a Tia was running on a treadmill one Sunday when my vision shut off in my right eye. Went to bed that night with a headache at age 36 a marathon runner and personal trainer(non smoker). Ended up in the hospital disabled by ischemic stroke caused by a tear in my right carotid artery.
How are you now?

Just some info.
Not all strokes happen in the brain. I had a stroke in 2014 at the C5 level. Leaving me a quadriplegic on both side. So the symptoms arent always one sided numbness and tingling.
SIGNS OF STROKE::: left side neck arm pain, slurry speech, can't smile, face dropping to 1 side, difficult swallowing.
REASONS FOR STROKE::: worrying too much, high blood pressure, high diebetes/ sugar levels.
CURE/ PREVENTION- diet, exercise. Eat fruits to LOWER blood pressure.
For inflammation eat raw root turmeric haldi.
Tea bags r giving headaches so can't be trusted. And eating too much sugar and sweetners give dark circles , loss of hair, memory loss.
herpes can be caught smoking the hookah pipe.
Hepatitis can be cured by coconut water.
Lipoma LUMPS gone by fasting, eating omega 3, raw turmeric, drinking more water, exercising, massaging body BEFORE breakfast dinner . Plz AVOID cakes , muffins, doughnuts, fizzy drinks fried foods, soy sauce as they cause LUMPS. GET MOVING- you will notice that tingling sensation on LUMPS after drinking fizzy/ exercising- proof.
LACK OF WATER , CIRCULATION also cause of LUMPS in body. I spent over £1,000 on homeopathic tablets but to be honest he put turmeric in those tablets. Surgery never the cure my aunt knew girl living near her n she got so many operations. Never the cure.
To prevent strokes eat Apple banana n pears.
To lower blood pressure immediately plz eat banana. Fruits can LOWER blood pressure and by drinking more water throughout the day. - plz avoid drinking n eating while standing n walking it's bad for the heart.
Fibroids can be prevented by Avoiding chicken liver, tomato seeds, white flour so doughnuts cakes white sugars. Creams.
was at 3 different docs for "vertigo" and falls for over a year. the last one before stroke said they would do eppley even though my eyeballs weren't doing that classic movement. 4 months after that I had brain stem stroke. I am so lucky to be alive, grateful for every single day I have with family!! like these guys said, you know if something's wrong. I wish I would've kept looking for an answer before it was too late.
did the vertigo ever come back?? my mom had a little stroke a couple months ago and still has diziness
Undiagnosed/untreated Atrial Fibrillation is a major cause of strokes. I had no warning or signs or TIA. Ellen Has A- Fib.
Tootsla 125 .all blood pressure raising or lowering is atrial filibration????
Weight loss is 70% diet and 30% exercise to round it up :)

I couldn't agree more! Those are the symptoms, and they are scary!
About the causes - there is not always clear bodily signs that you have a risk for high blood pressure. In my case the doctors at the hospital came to the conclusion that it was due to bad luck, as all my family tended to have it high blood pressure. I feel sure that perceived stress was a huge factor for me. "If you feel stressed, then you ARE stressed." It is not about what some other person thinks is stressful, it is about YOU. Take care of your blood pressure though you are almost vegan, though you are not obese at all, though you enjoy to be active, and though you look healthy! If you are sensitive you need to listen to your heart, soul, and body, in a way sturdy robust people won't have to. Don't follow the lead of people who can shrug off other people's sorrows and needs. Be careful, mindful, but not overwhelmed! You matter, too!
I love your videos and find them very usefull. Twenty years ago I read Alan Carr's The Easy Way to Stop Smoking and guess what? I stopped smoking within a week of finishing his book. Permanently. Thank you for your great work.
Would that book work for other nicotine addictions, like 'chew'?
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane Gosh, I don't know. Smoking cigarettes was my problem and the book talked pretty exclusively about that. Habits, such as lighting up because you're bored, but once you finish the smoke, you're still bored so what did the cigarette do for you? I don't know enough about chewing to comment. He is fairly convinced that it's mind over matter. First week I quit I felt pretty emotional, but my interest in cigarettes soon waned. Order the book from the library and check it out. Good luck.
@@jenniferbradley6986 Thank you for the info. I'll check it out... I'm hoping to help my husband. Congratulations to you! That is quite an accomplishment considering how addictive nicotine is. And just think of all the money you saved and kept out of the hands of cigarette companies!!
Allen Carr's books are highly detailed and go into the psychology of quitting.
A serious message well delivered. Thank you guys.
I mistook TIA’s for an allergic reaction. Went full blown ischemic attack. Fast forward from hospital to rehab center. Many stroker survivors mistake early stroke signs for flu symptoms and sadly think laying down helps. Causing many to miss the three hour window. Mine was a cervical dissection from holistic service. Instead use physical therapist & massage for muscle ailments.
I'm 57 and have been in healthcare for the last 27 years. I am a fitness fanatic, never overweight, don't drink, never smoked, fasting blood sugars around 80, A1c at 4.6-4.8, CRP at 0.5, sedimentation rate at 3 which most people my age are closer to 20. Homocysteine was 6, total cholesterol at 169, HDL at 52, triglycerides at 59. My blood pressure in the mornings will average 100/60 and in the evenings average 109/69. NO underlying medical issues and I don't take ANY medications except for one which I will disclose here in the next paragraph. Strokes don't run in my family and guess what? I HAD A STROKE in April 2022. Stood up from my desk and BAM! Entire right side went nearly dead and lost control and coordination. Long story short, I was somewhat walking within 3 days and driving after a week. Here we are nearly 4 months later and I've got 95% of my coordination and balance back and by looking at me you would never know I had a stroke.
Numerous CT and MRI scans revealed I had an infarction in the left internal capsule. All scans also revealed NO small blood vessel disease, NO large blood vessel disease, AND ZERO % plaque in every major blood vessel including small blood vessels! So, what caused the stroke? I was taking a medication called Tadalafil, I was taking 5mg of this medication daily and come to find out it caused LOW BLOOD FLOW in the internal capsule due to vasodilation. The med basically overrode the natural vasodilation/vasoconstriction system of the body and when I stood up, all the blood was pooled in my legs and the body was unable to constrict blood vessels in order to maintain adequate blood flow to the internal capsule which is a very sensitive part of the brain when it comes to blood flow.
So, the take away here is, just because you are super healthy with NO underlying medical issues, BEWARE, because medications can throw everything out of whack and cause problems like in my case. I should have never been on the medication from the start since there is a warning on the label to not take if you have low blood pressure. Well, mine is below average, BUT not considered by the medical community as low. Needless to say, if you are a male taking Tadalafil/Cialis/Viagra, never ever ever take the medication IF your blood pressure is below 120. If you do then you are taking a huge risk of having a stroke like I did.
Have you ever done a video to explain the proper way to get back into a good exercise program after a heart attack. Looking for some direction on what I can do without damaging things.
We have not done a video like this yet. I will add it to our to do list and hopefully we can get a video uploaded to TH-cam in the near future!
Allen Carr worked for me. I read in 1994, and gave up soon after - haven't smoked since.
Content starts at 1:30
Thanks guys keep it up 👍🏻
Bob and Brad, you put out such helpful information; I love your videos. This one is really helpful. I will have to check out that book. My partner still smokes and it worries me so much. I know I can’t change his mind, but perhaps he will look into the book. Glad also for the info on TIA’s. Thanks.
I was in the hospital for tachy cardia and at some point, talking to doctor about my out of control cough , fell unconscious- with really high BP and very rapid heart beat. After the hospital I was never the same with memory problems after 3 years they found I had had a stroke sometime in the past. The hospital never told me that I might have had a stroke. Not many symptoms other than bad short term memory - increasing dizziness . Just weird experience.
Another vote for the Alan Carr method for giving up smoking. I eventually quit over thirty years ago after trying various other methods unsuccessfully. I like the way he encourages you to concentrate on the immediate benefits and positive effects, rather than treating giving up like an endurance test.
Good video by the way Bob and Brad, thanks for all your posts. You are my go to guys for aches and pains!
I had a massive headache and 2 days later another don’t have headaches very often, have cardio myopathy and defibrillator/pacemaker fitted. Family related have a son with it. Told my Dr about the headache. Blood pressure was high
I had a mini stroke last November and I'm getting the same symptoms now I'm so scared I'm trying my best to just breathe normal
Now you have me worried. You did all that stuff about shoulders and then I ended up with a shoulder issue! I don’t have any of the warning signs for a stroke…however, now that you guys of mentioned it it seems like that’s what happens to me! I just want to let you know that the word “especially“ does not have an X LOL That isn’t just a Minnesota thing… It’s all over.
Thanks for the info! I really love you guys ❤️ I wish you would do international giveaways in the future.
I know I cannot be the only one who’s terrified to watch this video even though I’m only 28 and in great health. I’m scared because you guys always post things I am currently needing, but I don’t need a stroke in my life so get rid of this video please! Thanks!😅🤣🤣🤣👊🏽😎
I was healthy and 27 when I had a brain aneurysm rupture leading to a stroke. If you are concerned, you can get a CT Angiogram. Wishing a video away isn't going to do anything for you. If they find an aneurysm, they can clip it before it ruptures and causes a stroke.
I know a guy who had a stroke at 32 so they can happen when your young
Very interesting. I had a hemorrhagic stroke about 3.5 years ago and still suffering the consequences. Now I learned that there were warning signs and I had a small stroke about 1.5 years earlier.
Can I please ask you what the warning signs were?
My step father has had a mini stroke and takes medication but refuses to change his lifestyle. He rarely eats a fruit or vegetable and does little cardio vascular exercise although he is slim at least. He continues to drink alcohol regularly. Thankfully he doesn't smoke. I wish we could convince him to live a healthier lifestyle though, it's frustrating.
I’m a very stubborn person lol. But, when I change something it’s done! I quit smoking last month, packaged every item that deals with smoking and sent it to my nephew. Told my son I quit and he didn’t believe me lol. So he teases me about smoking and I just tell him nope no smoking. If for a second I wanted to smoke again I would in a heartbeat. Remember I’m stubborn lol. So son next time we chat asked if I miss the taste I just laugh. Finally he said well mom I’m glad your not smoking anymore! I thanked him and said so am I son.
Reality is I couldn’t walk 13 steps to the toilet. That pissed me off!! I did that to myself. Yep pissed me off and I’m done!
If I even think of that stuff I grab a lil red hot candy. Tis my reward for knowing I’m done.
It works for me and I’m good with it all. Life is short so make it count!
Thank you for sharing this information with us. Best to be proactive rather than reactive
I have MS...I always have these symptoms...I guess I'll never know for sure
Same here 😳
I love you guys so much!! So very informative
I believe I had a mini stroke last year and I don’t have insurance and I keep telling my family that I really do believe something is going on with me but no one is listening I’ve been trying for at least nine months to get help
Get well 🙏 , prayers for you.
I believe that book helped me quit smoking 7 years ago 💜
What do you call way off the charts blood pressure and cholesterol? PS I gave up smoking successfully reading Allen Carrs book. I loaned my copy of the book to my friend but unfortunately he didn't read it or stop smoking and died this year from lung cancer.
I'm going to stop smoking weed. But can I still ingest it? Weed really helps me stay away from the hard drugs I was heavily into. 😩😱
My mother had a tia in 2001 but never had anything after that. Lucky I guess.
Start it at 1:30!
JOE PRETE THANK YOU!!!
Brad’s natural hair (gray) looks good! Maybe the “distinguished” look may suit Bob as well. Just a thought... (sorry for swerving away from the current topic).
😂 “It happened to him when he was alive”
I don’t think it could have happened to him after he was not alive anymore.
Being dead does rather limit your options
You can decapitated someones dead body though.
@@therealhellkitty5388 Lol! So true! :D
This is scary. My face dropped after having a tooth removed. My face stayed like that with numbness for months. My face is still dropped. Then I had headaches, dizzy spells. It progressed to vocal and motor tics and now seizures. Confusion, slurring of speech and not being able to talk at all. I'm seeing nurology soon and luckily I took a photo of my face at the time.
I have heard of that happening if they dig too deep down in a root canal on the lower teeth so I'm wondering if that was your lower tooth that was pulled?
@@lanathomas1692 it was an upper tooth pull this student dentist was having an awful time getting the tooth out. I could feel the sensation right up to my eye. One of the most scary experiences I've ever had. She had to get another dentist in to do it. I was in such a panic they were telling me to keep breathing. I'm. Honestly surprised I didn't pass out.
@@SadbhR77 oh how terrible it sounds like there's nerve damage something really bad happened there I hope the neurologist is able to find out., And it is not permanent.
@@lanathomas1692 at this point I've had 40 seizures and my tics are all day every day. I can't see it going away anytime soon 😢
@@SadbhR77 I've never heard of anything happening with a tooth pulled so severe it's like a nightmare, I feel so bad for your situation, going in for a simple tooth pull and all this horror afterward. Something went horribly wrong I hope you get a good lawyer. You only have 2 years to file a lawsuit
This happened to me in new zealand and I went to the hospital and they just ignored me! I can't get an MRI unless a doctor refers me to a specialist who believes that I need one and the wait is months after that! We are 3rd world here! I have a whole new language as I don't talk properly or spell anymore after telling the doctor I was top of the class with spelling it didn't even register!
shoot I could not figure out how to enter the contest for the mattress.
if someone smokes for 30 years then stops, they most definitely will retain some lung damage and other damage
My husband smoked from 30 years and had quit for 30 years when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Can't reverse COPD!
I had none of those before my stroke. I did wake up twice, as if I just got out of the bathtub. I was soaking wet. Then I had my stroke (two massive strokes). I woke up as if, I just got out of the tub. Could not see from the room going round and round. Got queezy and regurgitated. Went to E.R. and found I had a stroke.
Years ago my father would be carrying on a conversation, would stop mid sentence, be quiet for a few seconds and then carry on with a conversation from a completely different time, on a completely different subject and wonder why we couldn't keep up. That went on for about 2 yrs before his first heart attack.
Oh no Tony, cancer with stroke. God bless you.
Hello i personally was involutarily nipping and Biting my Tongue a lot a few weeks before i had a stroke.+HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL.
I had a TIA that involved my left leg falling asleep and they said the likelihood was another bigger stoke in 48 hours
That's heavy news I hope you're okay today and have someone around you for support

Scares the dickens out of me to hear this stuff.
lol
How about weight gain from medications..... such as prednisone?? That's where some are at but need to remain on it indefinitely. Don't assume it's always from pizza or a sedentary life. I wish the weight gain wasn't a side effect.
You missed out intermittent fasting and natural probiotics but you got the refined carbs info right❤
Cult
intermittent fasting is extreme and any extremes are not good. intermittent fasting may damage the pancreas actually.
Thank you Bob and Brad God bless you and your family....💖
I had a vertebral artery dissection which caused a stroke. I had 2 tia a few weeks before the stroke. My right arm went completely numb for a minute 2x in about 10 days. I shouldn't have ignored it.
How are you doing now?
I read the title and ignored the video, but I kept on seeing it when I came back on to youtube, it scared me lol
Hi Bob & Brad......my husband had a ischemic stroke last month at 14 th March......so is there any risk of second stroke ? The only problem he is facing is he is having knee pain.
My mom had like 4 TIA that I caught and ran her to the hospital. Never got the huge paralyzing stroke thanks god. Her hips and knees were a bigger problem as well as her and diabetes.
Great advice! Thanks guys and have a great weekend!
Excellent info and needed info. Thank you!
Oh geez. I had 2 TIAs a week apart from each other. I’m 42. It’s so scary and I’m stuck in a place where I just don’t trust my body anymore.
Work with your dr to reduce risk factors. Exercise and meditation are the most healing things you can do. A stroke is not inevitable. Good luck to you.
Yikes! Have you made any changes to your life style ?
A whole food plant based diet is the best thing you can do for yourself. Check out How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. Good luck to you!!
🙏🙏🙏
What's the name of the med that the the doctor can put you on to prevent a stroke. I had the mini stroke a year ago.
Brad saying an upbeat “Enjoy”! at the very end cracked me up. Just a wee bit out of place. Love him to bits though. :-)
Thank you again for this wonderful video. Population is aging, but exercise and diet and some supplements can help, plus check out the people in the Pacific Islands. Long lives.
I'm gonna have a stroke in the next year. Thanks for the heads up. If I'm watching this, I hope it means I will listen to your advice.
You might have a stroke if you don't take care, so use medication, diet (avoid sugar, salt, alcohol, smoking, and unhealthy fat), and go for appropriate exercise, sleep well, and don't stress, keep that blood pressure under 120/80! I too hope it means you are clever enough to listen to advice, but do keep up that sense of humour! Best!
Starts at 1:27
i wish they can make shorter intros.
I observe this video as a complete advertising campaign for the products mentioned in it. Hoping, that this won't be the main trend in the future and money making will prevail over helping .
Wish you would address Moya moya disease. This was the cause of my stroke. I was 36 when I had my stroke and had none of the risk factors.
This is so scary thanks for the info
I am very small…not over weight At All, and I’m having problems!
You guys talk so fast. I have trouble understanding everything you say sometimes.
Hw is a book going to help me quit smoking, by Ellen none the less...12 months, I could have one tomorrow..
Sometimes I have numbness in the left side of my face but it goes away quickly
What about stress you never mentioned it but I know thats why I had mine. a year later I had a TIA same reason, same person causing me such hi stress. what to do when its a relative and you love them but.... anyone have any ideas for me?
Hey @Marcia Musiak, it's not too late to try holistic remedies. I have chinese herbs which can help with stroke, curing it. WhatsApp me so I share video testimonies and info-

Hi guys. I really like your videos. I want to mention; I don't think the microphones are helping your production value. it sounds like you are presenters at a convention or fair. Thanks
Please look at all the videos on TIA, I’ve never seen one mention a headache as a symptom.
Love you guys thanks
OK. I will mark my calendar.
Bob & Brad, Have you heard of tPA clot busting drug for stroke? Thrombolysis
Wow Thank you Bob Brad Good Information ❤❤❤
