Was using adderall to plow though some reading material and suddenly felt the right side of my face tingle and go numb, I then looked in the mirror and my face had slightly drooped. Immediately went to the hospital and it turns out I had a TIA whats basically a transitory stroke, im now on high blood pressure and high cholesterol medications and im not even overweight, I'm also only 31 with the possibility of a full on stroke always on the horizon.

If you have a history of heart issues, just leave stimulants of any form alone tbh, im even wary of coffee at this point.

      Sorry, I got distracted and wandered off, I apologize. Nothing wrong with a baby aspirin, but there's no plausible mechanism I can think of that would allow for fish oil supplements to improve chest pain, especially cardiac. The risk of diabetes is controversial, as is the muscle cramping and rhabdo; typically people who are put on statins just had a heart attack and look like John Candy in a Bears SNL sketch.

      I'm just saying if you're really concerned about heart disease killing you, statins would absolutely prevent that 100%.

      I've seen someone who didn't have a diagnosis of diabetes have diabetic gastroparesis, so it can happen; but it almost always severe diabetic neuropathy like that requires 10+ years of completely uncontrolled diabetes; we're talking your glucose has never been below 250 since Obama got elected. Feeling dizzy and nauseous unless you eat isn't a symptom of diabetes, but it generally means your body (in this case your liver) is struggling to convert fat to sugar, which is generally a sign you're on your way to a pre-diabetes, at least. I think they call it metabolic syndrome now.

      Sorry, I deal with rural blue collar populations mostly and now I just realized I'm not sure what the appropriate level to discuss medical issues with people is. Hope that helps. GL
