Does Low Room Temperature Cause Stroke?
what are the dangers working long hours in a low humidity room? I had a stroke on sept. 15th. The doctors found nothing wrong with me. I do however work in a controlled humidity room for 12 hours each day. The humidity is below1%. YYYY@YYYY . I am wondering if the low humidity could have been a factor with me having a stroke.

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
You should know that low humidity is not a risk factor for a possible stroke.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, smoking or diabetes are known risk factors for stroke. Do you suffer from any of these disorders?
Low humidity can only cause an exacerbation of any lung disorder or chronic cough.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
