Cardiologists WARN Older Adults That This Pill TRIPLES Stroke Risk!

Описание: If you’re over 60 and taking daily medications, there’s one class of pills cardiologists and stroke specialists watch very closely because research shows it may significantly increase stroke risk in certain older adults—especially seniors with dementia or high vascular risk. In this video, we break down why some antipsychotic medications (often prescribed for agitation, sleep, anxiety, hallucinations, or “sundowning”) have been linked to higher rates of stroke and TIA in vulnerable seniors, even when taken exactly as directed.

You’ll learn:
How to tell if this topic applies to your medication list (not just the label)
The 4 main pathways that can raise stroke risk: blood pressure drops, heart rhythm changes, clotting/inflammation shifts, and sedation-related complications
The most dangerous medication combinations (polypharmacy risks)
A simple, practical “medication truth sheet” and 1-week home checklist to share with your doctor
The exact questions to ask your prescriber and pharmacist
Stroke warning signs and when to call emergency services immediately
