Could Concussion Lead To Stroke?
I had a concussion a year ago, car accident. I just had a stroke. No damage. I am male, 55, 6 tall, 195lbs. No blocked arteries. I ve been a runner my whole life, training to compete in Worlds Master meet in Sacramento, CA in July. Could that concussion have caused me to have a stroke.

Hi There
The chances of having stroke due to concussion are very small and also there are no studies still that prove a direct strong relationship among the two.
However what happen after traumatic injury to brain is some people develop Hypertension which if left unattended could finally land in stroke.
Wish you Good Luck
