#epilepsy #healthcare #newsky
Yesโstroke 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? Itโs preventable.
Healthy habitsโsleep, hydration, exercise, and medication consistencyโprotect your brain long-term.
Would you like a full guide on brain-healthy habits?
#highbloodpressure #stroke #neurology #brainhealth #newsky
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.

Common signs include:
-Slow thinking
-Difficulty walking
-Memory issues
-Personality changes
Have you heard of this disease before?
#neurology
Binswangerโs disease is a type of vascular dementia that damages your brainโs white matterโthe 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 damagedโusually from high blood pressure, mini-strokes, or diabetes. When the brain doesnโt get enough oxygen, thinking and memory start to slow down.

Mi gente, letโs talk migraines and alcohol ๐ท๐ง
Did you know even one drink can trigger a migraine?
Red wine, beer, and champagne are common culprits โ they contain histamines and sulfites that can mess with your brain chemistry. #migraines #triggers
Myth: Epilepsy is contagious.
Fact: Itโs not contagious โ you canโt โcatchโ epilepsy. Itโs a neurological condition, not an infection.

What can trigger a migraine?
Migraines donโt come out of nowhere.
Sometimes itโs the little things:
๐ด Lack of sleep๐ฅค Too much caffeine๐ท Alcohol๐ Processed foods ๐ฐ Stressย
Start noticing what triggers your migraine โ awareness is power.ย #migraine
Protecting the brain starts with appreciating the little things that keep us grounded, healthy, and present.
What are you grateful for this year? Tell me in the comments.

This Thanksgiving, Iโm feeling extra grateful ๐ง โจ
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 Iโve dedicated to reconnecting with myself.
Mi gente, letโs be clear, a migraine isnโt โjust a bad headache.โ
Itโs 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, youโre not alone โ and you deserve proper care. ๐

Mi gente, living with epilepsy isnโt about restrictions โ itโs about learning what helps your brain thrive ๐
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 โ one small area can affect how we move, feel, or even react.
๐ Share this to spread awareness and help more people understand epilepsy.
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, letโs talk about focal seizures ๐
These start in one specific part of the brain, not the whole brain like generalized seizures. #seizure

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