For Stress Awareness Month, we'd like to ask, do you think stress caused your stroke?
Stress can cause physical symptoms that may lead to having a stroke.
For example, stress can cause high blood pressure which is the biggest single risk factor for stroke.
Stress can also trigger migraines with aura and if you have migraine with aura, you are around twice as likely to have an ischaemic stroke in your lifetime compared to those without migraine.
Stress often occurs at challenging periods in our lives, so we're sorry if your stroke happened when you were already having a difficult time and we're here to listen. đź’ś
