Early Warning Signs of a Stroke: Know The Risk Factors

In recognition of Stroke Awareness Month, we're continuing our series by discussing stroke risk factors. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, family history of strokes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Surprisingly, marijuana use is also a risk factor, with studies showing that high marijuana use can increase stroke risk due to its impact on blood pressure, heart rate, and the cardiovascular system. Young marijuana users are particularly at higher risk compared to non-users. Women also have increased risk factors for stroke. For more information on women's stroke risk, visit my Facebook page. Remember to do something kind for someone today. #health #stroke
