Unlikely: It is unlikely this could cause a stroke, but getting very agitated could cause heart problems, and it is possible they could hurt themselves or someone else during an episode. There are medicines that may help reduce the agitation. Also, it's important to know what is causing the episodes. Do they have dementia? Are they on a new medication.? Acute illnesses can bring this on. See a doctor.
