Can One Ride A Roller Coaster When Diagnosed With Heart Stroke?
Hi. I had a mini stroke back in April of 2014. The cause of it is from low count of platelets in my brain causing from lupus (SLE) and mixed connective tissue. All my organs were checked out good and my blood pressure has been always normal ever since. I was wondering if I can ride the rollercoasters at a state fair? Thank you for our time.
