Can I Go For A Roller Coaster Ride After Suffering From A Stroke?

I had a stroke last year. I am a 37 year old female. The cause of the stroke is still undetermined. My heart was checked and healthy, and my arteries and blood was tested and fine. Never been on birth control. Anyways, would it be safe for me to go ride roller coasters

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that roller coaster is not a very safe sport in this clinical situation (as it may cause changes in blood pressure).

As no possible cause of stroke was found, we can not confirm that it is safe for you to undergo such extreme sports.

I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure, continue on a healthy lifestyle and perform periodically scheduled follow ups (which blood lipid profile, resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound, complete blood count, fasting glucose, etc.) every 6 months to check if everything is OK.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
