  • Bridgette Salatin from Ohio, US, warned against 'ego lifting' at the gym after she suffered a stroke while doing squats

A 30-year-old woman experienced a stroke while lifting weights at the gym, an incident attributed to a rare condition known as vertebral artery dissection. This condition involves a tear in the inner lining of the vertebral artery, which can lead to a blood clot that blocks blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke. The woman, who was previously healthy, felt dizzy and had a headache after lifting weights, symptoms she initially ignored. However, her condition worsened, leading to her hospitalization where doctors discovered the stroke. This case highlights the importance of recognizing stroke symptoms, even in young and fit individuals, and the potential risks associated with heavy lifting or sudden neck movements.
