Higher risk if:

-The stroke was large
-The cortex was affected
-You’re over 65

#epilepsy #healthcare #newsky

Yes—stroke and vascular damage can lead to epilepsy. When injured brain tissue becomes irritated, it may trigger seizures over time.

#epilepsy #healthcare #newsky

The good news? It’s preventable.
Healthy habits—sleep, hydration, exercise, and medication consistency—protect your brain long-term.

Would you like a full guide on brain-healthy habits?

High blood pressure is one of the biggest risks for stroke, TIAs, and vascular dementia because it slowly weakens the tiny vessels that keep your brain alive.

-Personality changes
Have you heard of this disease before?

#neurology

Binswanger’s disease is a type of vascular dementia that damages your brain’s white matter—the communication highways that help your brain send signals quickly.

What you may notice:
-Slower thinking
-Trouble planning
-Mood changes
-Memory lapses
These are NOT normal aging.
Would you like to learn more about the early signs?

#vasculardementia

Vascular dementia happens when blood flow to the brain becomes limited or damaged—usually from high blood pressure, mini-strokes, or diabetes. When the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, thinking and memory start to slow down.

If this sounds familiar, track what you drink and how you feel.
It’s the first step to understanding your triggers.

Mi gente, let’s talk migraines and alcohol 🍷🧠
Did you know even one drink can trigger a migraine?
Red wine, beer, and champagne are common culprits — they contain histamines and sulfites that can mess with your brain chemistry. #migraines #triggers

Myth: Epilepsy is contagious.
Fact: It’s not contagious — you can’t “catch” epilepsy. It’s a neurological condition, not an infection.

What can trigger a migraine?
Migraines don’t come out of nowhere.
Sometimes it’s the little things:
😴 Lack of sleep🥤 Too much caffeine🍷 Alcohol🍕 Processed foods 😰 Stress 
Start noticing what triggers your migraine — awareness is power.  #migraine

Protecting the brain starts with appreciating the little things that keep us grounded, healthy, and present.

This Thanksgiving, I’m feeling extra grateful 🧠✨
For my work in neurology, for every patient taking control of their brain health, for the time I get to share with my family, for my own health, and for the moments I’ve dedicated to reconnecting with myself.

Mi gente, let’s be clear, a migraine isn’t “just a bad headache.”
It’s a neurological condition that can knock you down for hours or even days.
Light hurts. Sounds feel louder. The world spins.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you deserve proper care. 💜

From taking your meds to eating right and managing stress, every little habit counts!

#seizure

Some stay aware during the seizure, others lose awareness for a few seconds.
Focal seizures remind us how powerful and complex the brain really is — one small area can affect how we move, feel, or even react.

Depending on where they begin, they can look very different:
Some people may have jerking in just one arm or leg.
Others might stare blankly or make small, repetitive movements. #seizure

Mi gente, let’s talk about focal seizures 💜

These start in one specific part of the brain, not the whole brain like generalized seizures. #seizure

#epilepsy

These seizures can affect movement, awareness, emotions, or behavior, depending on which part of the brain is involved.

#epilepsy

What does epilepsy mean in neurology?
In simple terms, epilepsy is a neurological disorder where the brain’s electrical signals misfire — causing recurrent, unprovoked seizures.
