Common medication taken by millions in the UK linked to triple risk of deadly stroke
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE combined pill could triple the risk of sudden stroke in young women, a new study has suggested. It's already well known that the pills, taken by over 3million women in the UK, can increase the risk of blood clots and heart issues. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The pill Credit: Getty Now, scientists based in Turkey have also linked it to a higher chance of cryptogenic ischaemic stroke (CIS) - a type of brain bleed with no clear cause. The new findings were presented at the European Stroke Organisation Conference in Helsinki, Finland today (May 20). Researchers from Istanbul University looked at 268 women aged 18 to 49 who had sudden, unexplained strokes, and compared them to 268 women of the same age who hadn't had a stroke. Among those who had strokes, 66 were using the combined contraceptive pill compared to just 38 in the control group. After accounting for factors like smoking, high blood pressure, migraines and obesity, they found women on the pill were three times more likely to suffer a cryptogenic stroke. The combined pill contains oestrogen and progestogen - and it's the oestrogen that's been linked to a higher risk of blood clots, which can lead to strokes. However, strokes in younger people are rare, and the overall risk from using the pill is very low, according to the Stroke Association. It's important to always speak to your doctor and pharmacist when thinking of coming off a medication. Earlier this year, a Danish study suggested the combined pill increases the risk of stroke two-fold. But this is the one of times experts have found a link to cryptogenic strokes, specifically. How to check your pulse, for risk of stroke 'Our findings confirm earlier evidence linking oral contraceptives to stroke risk,' said Dr Mine Sezgin, lead author of the study. 'What's particularly notable is that the association remains strong even when accounting for other known risk factors, which suggests there may be additional mechanisms involved – possibly genetic or biological.' The experts said more studies are needed to firmly establish the link. But they also urged doctors to be careful when prescribing combined oral contraceptives to women with existing stroke risks or a history of ischaemic stroke. 'Our findings should prompt more careful evaluation of stroke risk in young women, particularly those with additional risk factors,' Dr Sezgin, said.

Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak fuel dating rumours as he shares major update
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDERSON .Paak added more speculation to rumors he's dating icon Mariah Carey. The Emotions singer was linked to Anderson in December when they were spotted in Aspen holding hands after leaving a restaurant. 3 Mariah Carey is rumored to be dating Anderson .Paak Credit: Getty 3 The musician added fuel to the rumors during a recent interview Credit: Getty Now, Anderson a three-time Grammy winner and one half of soul group Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, has raised eyebrows about their potential relationship. While participating in a game to guess songs being played on the podcast Track Star, Anderson beamed from ear to ear when Mariah's song, Always Be My Baby, began to play. Track Star host, Jack Coyne, then instructed the musician to open up his jacket and show the t-shirt he was wearing underneath. Anderson revealed the shirt was emblazoned with a black-and-white image of his rumored girlfriend. He correctly guessed the song saying: "This would be Mariah Carey. The Mariah Carey. "I remember like, fifth grade or something, just watching the music video and having a huge crush." When Jack then asked if he and Mariah would ever work on music together, Anderson revealed: "We're working on some music. On her new album." The drummer's reaction to hearing a Mariah song did not go unnoticed by music fans who reacted in the comments section of the video posted to Instagram. "The way he smiled for ear to ear at the mention of Mariah 😍," wrote one person. Another added: "Paak rocking the Mariah shirt!" Carson Daly slammed for 'horrible' treatment of Mariah Carey in resurfaced TRL clip as fans demand apology And a third wrote: "Track Star breaking news re: Paak and Mariah." The famous musicians reportedly developed a "flirty connection" while working together. "Mariah and Anderson have been hanging out for months, and have a flirty connection," a source told The Sun in December. "But he has a reputation as a ladies' man in Hollywood and is still legally married to his wife." Anderson filed for divorce from Korean musician Jae Lin, in January 2024 after 12 years of marriage. The former couple share two children; Soul, 13, and Shine, six, and court documents show Anderson has requested joint legal custody. The U.S. Sun understands Mariah and Anderson first began working together around June - when Anderson posted a video of the pair at Electric Lady Studios in New York. He admitted in the clip, which was shared to TikTok, that he was blown away by working with her. Anderson said: "You ever been starstruck, like when a star strikes you, that what it was. [But] I couldn't just like freeze up, we had to get in the studio and just make some [music]." Mariah was then pictured celebrating Halloween at Anderson's new West Hollywood bar, Andy's, in an Instagram photo shared to the venue's official account. She went all out wearing a sexy rubber cat outfit and was seen playfully touching the face of a man believed to be Anderson dressed up as Daft Punk. The stars were seen hand-in-hand at Catch Steak in Aspen before Christmas, with Mariah dressed to impress in a tweed skirt, knee-high boots, and a white shirt. She covered up in the cold in a giant matching brown tweed coat with fur lining. Anderson also posted Mariah on Instagram back in November. He wrote: 'WE HAD A THRILLER NIGHT TO SAY THE LEAST! BIG SHOUTS TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT TO @andys_weho FIRST EVER HALLOWEEN PARTY! IT WAS A STONE GROOOVE JACK!! SEE YAH NEXT YEAR!' After their cozy meet-up last year, sources told TMZ the pair are not dating but have been in the studio again in Aspen. The U.S. Sun reached out to Mariah and Anderson's reps for comment but did not hear back. Mariah was previously married to American businessman Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998. She later wed Nick Cannon in 2008, and they welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan in 2011, but they split up in 2014. Mariah was also previously engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer and in 2024 split from dancer Brian Tanaka after seven years together.
