10 Side Effects of Fish Oil
Fish Oil Side Effect #6: Strokes
Strokes are one of the most serious reactions that a person could possibly have to fish oil. They generally don’t occur unless that you’re taking extremely high doses of fish oil. A stroke is a hemorrhage in the brain, which is a burst blood vessel. These can be caused when blood vessels grow weak.
Because of the way that omega-3 fatty acids prevent blood from clotting as quickly, they can actually increase the risk of having a stroke. This is more likely to occur in people who already have low blood pressure.
