With afib I have a 2% chance of a stroke without anticoagulants, on all the online risk tests I've taken. That's 98% chance of not having one. 85% of people who have strokes do not have afib. Add those numbers up and is it worth it to take an expensive, intrusive drug to go from a 98% chance of not having a stroke to a 99% chance. The Japs have a test that is being used more and more in the West to test for potential stroke victims. Just stand on one leg for 20 seconds. The reasons that you can and can't do this would fill a book about the brain. If you can't, see a doc asap. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
