22-Year-Old Suffers Stroke After Long-Term Daily High-Caffeine Pre-Workout Use
A 22-year-old physically fit man who worked out six days a week suffered a stroke after taking two scoops of a high-caffeine pre-workout supplement daily on an empty stomach for 18 months. Neurosurgery resident Dr. Dhrumitsingh Rao explained that the stimulants triggered a hypertensive crisis, causing a deep brain bleed. Despite no prior heart conditions or family history, the man's blood pressure spiked to dangerous levels, leading to a stroke requiring surgery. He survived but continues to recover motor function.
