    Migraine Birth Control

    Hi, I started Birth Control a week ago, it is a two hormone, 21 day cycle with a week of sugar pills. They said it was a generic BC called try-estyrella. Yesterday I finished a week and tonight I should start the second week, but today I got a migraine with aura, which I have never gotten before. Naturally, I blame it on the BC because that is the only thing that has changed in my life recently, and after doing research I found that BC and aura migraines, increase chance for stroke.

    Blacked out for 3 minutes ?

    Today I was working out with my fitness trainer who's a good friend. At some point suddenly it seemed like he blacked out and was looking at me and smiling, but was not reactive. This went on for 2-3 minutes and after he seemed to be slower than usual. When I mentioned to him later he did not remember it and didn't want to admit the issue.

    Stopping statins and risk of stroke

    My aunt suffered from type 2 diabetes, hypertension and elevated cholesterol. She had a stroke 8 years ago but recovered quite well. She was taking about 6 different medications including statins, diuretics and metformin. She had been taking these medications for 8 years. On the advice of a friend she stopped taking her statins cold turkey. She died of a stroke 5 days later. Could her passing have been caused by not taking statins for only 5 days?

    29 and suspect mini strokes

    Hi, I'm a concerned man about possible mini strokes. Why am I concerned? 1. In the last 5 years, I've had 2 relatives drop dead from Strokes(albiet both were 50+). 2. I'm black.
