MaryB Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just wondering if any had their SAH or Stroke after a hair appointment or dental work? I had mine after having a tooth pulled. Just wondering is any others are out there? I have read having your head in that position can lead to a stroke for people at risk. Thanks, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi Mary sorry don't know about dentist because head is supported but hairdressers can tear an artery in the neck that can cause strokes. Jess.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi K Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've often felt uncomfortable with my head in that sink, long before I knew anything about brain bleeds! I can't remember how close my appointments were to the 'event'. My doc now thinks I had a 'leak' prior to the big event though so it becomes complicated trying to figure out when it all started.

Skippy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nope - never had any dental work done and had not had hair cut for a good three months before brain hem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpaggett Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Mary, Right before my SAH, I had a thought, 'Maybe I should cut my hair.' It was a nightmare in the hospital, I have so much of it even when it's short. They had to put 2 shampoo cap things on it instead of the normal 1...and it still didn't get really clean. Then no one understood that I never comb it, I just finger it and so all my hair got matted because everyone was scared of it! (I wish some of the emotion icons had hair! Insert one here.) ~Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
