A member asked:

Is there any reason to think that my cervical muscle spasm led to, or contributed to, my stroke?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably unrelated: A stroke is brain damage caused by blockage of blood vessels supplying brain tissue or by bleeding. Muscle spasm does not cause stroke. Hope you are recovering; wish you well.
