does heat causes cerebrovascular accident?!
Question:
health
Answers:
That would be called a heatstroke, correct?
Calebsmom is correct, sort of. High blood pressure in the brain is not necessarily a case of hypertension and that is one of the problematic factors that make some strokes unpredictable.
Problems that cause migraines also cause blood pressure problems in the brain without an exiting diagnosis of hypertension, because hypertension is not necessarily occurring to be measured in normal telemetry - migraines are vascular headaches. In fact, a person who often experiences migraines may have measured blood pressure that always seems normal or even possibly at a low level because of the vascular occurrences in the brain. Abnormal serotonin levels, either too high or too low, also can cause migraines, overheating, stroke and even comas (among other things).
It is never good for a brain to be overheated by any means, external or internal heat causes numerous problems including stroke, although it is true that not all strokes are caused by heat.

Maybe if your heart rate is extremely high..but not directly i dont think so.
No, a cerebrovascular accident (CVA or Stroke) is caused by hypertension, high blood pressure that is. If a person with high blood pressure was in a climate with severe heat he could have a CVA but he could also have one if he lived in Alaska.
