Seems like a few foreigners here are experiencing strokes recently. I will post my mistakes leading up to a stroke (in Sept. 9 yrs ago). I stopped taking cholesterol meds when I got here. I never got a health check up for years. My cholesterol level went very high. I had a lot of stress and anxiety an I let it bother me. I was exercising at the gym regularly but very little aerobics. I ignored the constant headaches in the back of my head. I ignored the numbness in my left arm. I ignored what was probably a short mini stroke (dizzy, almost fell down). BOOM! My life changed forever. FUBAR.
Thanks for the reminder Pat, As the UK experiences extreme heat, topping 40c in some parts, the warnings went out. Hydration is very important in hot weather, drink lots of water and avoid to much alcohol was the message given here. The elderly and children to seek shade and keep out the midday sun, we are never to old to learn thanks Pat.
