What can a person's daytime napping habits, a woman's mammogram or migraine headaches tell them about their risk of having a stroke?

The migraines make sense: they involve vasospasms of the cerebral arteries. Sleep disturbances also make sense; lack of oxygen to the brain is never a good thing. The mammogram bit is interesting--if these results are confirmed, this could be a screening tool for risk.

hester: you should have access to your last mamogram. Have your doctor ask for it.

very interesting! ( this scared me at first about the naps but then it said falling asleep during a conversation or while driving-so I can breathe a sigh of relief and go finish my nap)

I read the article that you have and I find it very interesting. It concerns me quite a lot. I saw an ophthalmologist who says that I had a TIA. I wonder if it is possible to pull my past mammograms and look at them for any signs of calcification?

Who would think that naps would be something to study for stroke risks?
