Subject: RE: Strokes



Blvd d'Espair Bowhill, Sth Aust

jjoseph - 5/1/2021 14:26 I have had two people that I kind a know that were in their late 30s early 40s that had strokes. Anybody else noticing that?



Apparently a Hole-in-the-heart is a MUCH more common condition than most of us realise, and  goes undiagnosed in  the greater percentage of those that  live with it...     Small clots that would  be "normally" caught within the heart can then pass through, and  cause havoc in the brain as a stroke.

   This is what happened to my daughter, who kept having  auras associated with migraines.  The aura  is actually  the brain cells dying.   
She has permanently lost some particular  areas of vision  ( but she isn't blind)  and this is caused by loss of the relevant brain cells....nothing to do with her eyes.     

Surgery can usually repair the hole-in-the-heart, and given the  potential results of not doing so, seems like a no-brainer....   except in some particular  situations that require specialist advice.

By the way..this was recognised by her Optician,    rather than  her Dr. who  she was seeing for migraine and  auras.
