Hemorrhagic stroke can result in death or severe disability.
Men may also be at risk of strokes too. PPA is a synthetic drug which is similar to epinephrine, phenylephrine and ephedrine. This means it causes the blood vessels to constrict or become smaller. This results in less blood flow throughout the body and higher pressure in the blood vessels. For some people, this may result in a rupture of the vessel and uncontrolled bleeding.
