A Mild Stroke Could Develop Other Serious Complications

According to a report in Medline, those who suffer a mild stroke could be at risk of developing other complications. Even a mild stroke can lead to disability. If you are disabled to work due to your severe medical condition, then you may be able to receive Social Security disability benefits.

A new study finds that those individuals who suffer a mild stroke are at risk of suffering additional complications including vision problems, insomnia, difficulty with thinking, and depression. Symptoms of depression such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and thoughts of suicide should be treated just as much as the stroke.

The average age that was studied to suffer a mild stroke was 62 years old, with approximately 40% of the patients still being in the workforce. This raises concerns about the ability to return to work afterwards.

These findings, presented by the Canadian Stroke Congress, have prompted the researchers to suggest that new guidelines on the treatment of mild strokes should be done.
