I've always been told by docs that their is NO direct connection between CH
& vascular problems such as stroke -

seems to be the case

BUT
some of the medicines used for CH CAN be dangerous,
and for some of them (ergotamines, a good example)
stroke IS a notable possible side effect
I'm more afraid of the meds than CH itself, from a mortality aspect

hope this helps a little
