7 Things I Didn't Know: Detecting Stroke Risk

I did not know:

  1. Certain drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine can cause stroke.
  2. Most strokes can damage the brain within minutes.
  3. Detecting your risk of stroke isn't as complicated as it may seem.
  4. I recently found out that regular dental exams can help detect heart problems.
  5. Certain heart problems can be detected and diagnosed with a CT scan or MRI.
  6. A doctor can make a diagnosis of stroke based on a physical examination and a detailed history.
  7. I did not know there is mobile health screening.
There are probably a lot more things I will learn but mostly is that I can detect stroke risk a lot easier than I thought.
