I had a stroke just shy of a month ago. 38yo male, no risk factors, healthy BMI, 12+ hours of intense exercise per week. In the neurology ward of the hospital I was told they'd seen a massive uptick in otherwise-healthy adults experiencing strokes over the past few years.
My last COVID infection was about 11 months ago, that I know of.
All this is to say that I'm not surprised by your comment at all. We'll never really know if my stroke specifically was caused by COVID, but I think it's becoming more and more that there are a whole host of ongoing health concerns directly related to it.
- t0bia_s 4y agoAre you vaccinated?
- houstonn 4y agoThat is the essential question. A more recent Covid vaccination is more likely to be the culprit than from Covid 11 months ago.
- t0bia_s 4y agoIt is. But covid is still there to be precise. Just not so much (still too much for my taste) in media any more.
- stouset 4y agoUnfortunately for your hypothesis, my most recent vaccination was nine months prior. The risks identified with vaccines right now appear to be in the period immediately following vaccination whereas COVID tends to create elevated risks for a significantly longer period of time.
