Younger Women Having Strokes

Interesting read about how younger women are having strokes due to birth control use.

"Young men and women share the same cardiovascular risks from unhealthy behaviors. But women are more prone to migraines, and they are uniquely vulnerable to pregnancy-related complications and hormones found in birth control pills, all of which increase stroke risk."

The woman featured in the article was a regular smoker and on birth control. That is warning #1 for birth control...don't smoke or it cranks up your risk of blood clots. I almost think that it shouldn't be prescribed to smokers.

But of course she blames the stroke on some mysterious mutation.

On a snowy morning in 2010, Jolene Morton headed to work early, thinking she would be safer with fewer cars on the roads. Shortly after arriving, she started slurring her words while talking on the phone and then she dropped the receiver. In a flash, everything went blank. “All I saw in my head was a dark room with dust bunnies,” Morton says.

She struggled to speak as her supervisor helped her lie down on the floor. Morton, at 33, had suffered a stroke, long considered a rarity in someone so young. Ischemic strokes, which account for about 90 percent of all strokes, result when clots or fatty deposits block blood flow to the brain. Morton’s doctors never found a clot, only a narrowing in an artery that feeds brain areas critical for motor control, sensory perception and speech.

Over several months, Morton, who worked at a home-nursing agency in West Chester, Pa., slowly learned how to walk, talk and feed herself again. Today she spends afternoons in bed, exhausted from seizures and chronic pain that followed the stroke.

Strokes in younger adults typically result from rare conditions, including tears in artery walls (called dissections) or defects in the heart that release clots. Strokes in older adults usually result when a lifetime of bad habits ravages the vascular system. But strokes, long on the decline among the elderly, appear to be rising among younger adults.

About 10 percent of the nearly 800,000 strokes that Americans suffer each year occur in people younger than 50, according to recent studies.

No national registry tracks strokes, leaving researchers to find trends in regional studies, hospitalization records and health surveys. But their discoveries show a troubling trend. In 2010, a study in the journal Stroke found that the stroke rate tripled in 35-to-54-year-old women between 1988 and 2004. The next year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that hospitalizations for ischemic stroke increased by more than a third in 15-to-44-year-olds in the 14-year period that ended in 2008. In 2012, a review of hospital records in the Midwest found a 44 percent jump in strokes between 1993 and 2005 among people younger than 55. The same year, researchers at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California reported an “alarming ” increase in ischemic strokes among people age 25 to 44 between 2000 and 2008.

Mary George, who led the CDC study, was troubled to see so many young stroke patients with conditions that could have been prevented or treated with medications. Nearly a third of the 15-to-34-year-olds and more than half of 35-to-44-year-olds had high blood pressure, which is the leading risk factor for stroke.

Nina Solenski, an associate professor of neurology at the University of Virginia, says that the message that exercising and eating wisely can reduce high blood pressure seems to be getting through to older people, only to be lost on the young.

When Solenski started practicing 20 years ago, she rarely saw young stroke patients. But in recent years, they have been showing up with high blood pressure, diabetes and other conditions once associated with old age. “It’s actually kind of frightening,” she says.

This could be an excuse/conversational thread to ask smoking women if they are on the pill.

If only you knew how bad things really are.

Smoking combined with estrogen/progrestin contraceptives greatly increases the likeliness of a cardiovascular event i.e. stroke or DVT.

Also, be aware gentlemen. If you are using testosterone, either for TRT or for hypertrophy, the same applies to you.

I won't ask why women are batshit these days because it will more than likely open a whole new can of worms, but from what I have witnessed lately more and more women are smoking in my area. There are a lot of things that can contribute to that. What I do know is that Crazy/Stress + Smoking + Birth Control = a life out of control.

I think its more to do with their lifestyles. Women in Britain hit the wall at a very young age, its shocking to see some of the girls i went to school with. By the ages of 21-22 they already look like they are in their early 30s. Drinking, Smoking, too much unprotected sex. I already know two girls who had to drop out of universities after having mental breakdowns.
