Since mini-strokes are brief, you may overlook it or ignore it. However, it is essential to note that transient ischemic strokes are often warning signs of an impending stroke. Research shows that 1 in every 3 persons who experience a TIA will have a stroke. So, if you experience a mini-stroke, don’t hesitate to see your doctor for proper treatment. https://lnkd.in/dY_Exk2b

Stress is a real thing and can lead to life-threatening events if you don’t properly manage it. Stress is basically your body reacting to a threat, whether real or perceived and a sign that you should slow down. More so, stress alerts you to the likelihood of some harm happening to you, thus helping you to avert it. That is why one should listen to one’s body and take a break when the body demands it. Stress, though helpful in moderation, when it becomes severe can make you more prone to a stroke or heart disease. This article aims to help you understand how stress can lead to a stroke, what types of strokes it can cause, and more. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d4FiEf4v

#SelfCareSunday: Scrub the slate clean.

People recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) might find that time management has become uniquely challenging in the aftermath of their injury. Perhaps scheduled appointments have more regularly slipped your mind or it feels almost impossible to track how much time has elapsed while working on a particular task. If that sounds familiar, it is important to know that there are concrete strategies you can implement to help regain control of your day-to-day schedule and productivity. This article will explore some of the difficulties with time management that can arise after TBI and suggest practical steps you can take to overcome those obstacles. https://lnkd.in/gyGVYp8e

While this has always been a reality for women who served in the military, heightened awareness of female veterans’ specialized health needs has never been more crucial. This is especially true where traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is concerned. Indeed, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, “women are the fastest-growing group in the Veteran population.” Their share in the U.S. military overall is projected to grow from 4% in 2000 to 18% by 2040—and today alone there are over 2 million female veterans living in the United States. Just as important, female service members in coming years are more likely to deploy to combat positions—exposure to which can increase the likelihood of developing TBI— as the full effect of the United States Department of Defense's 2016 repeal of gender-targeted role restrictions begins to take hold. In this post, we provide an overview of three key things about TBI that female veterans, their caregivers, and clinicians should know.  https://lnkd.in/eBbvSxEG
