Worrines & STROKE: Stroke is caused by plaques of cholesterol or uncontrolled hypertenssion. Anxiety may elevate the blood pressure. Help her encouraging to watch news only one hour a day. Suggest to her to participate c more positive activities like tai chi or otherr exercises like daily walking, involve her in religius meetings (prayer groups or groups helping others. She might need medicines for anxiety if sever.

Stress!!!: I don't believe that watching news all day is healthy for anyone. There is likely no benefit from her watching some of the same material over and over. Recommend that she either markedly limit her news watching binges or give herself a holiday from watching the news. She would probably be happier if she put some of her time & effort into activities that are meantingful to her.
