One friend of mine almost died of a "Transient Ischemic Attack", essentially a type of mini-stroke that was brought on by the program. He went to the ER and they went down a huge list and could not figure out what was wrong with him and then another doc was like "wait, were you doing CrossFit?" and from there they immediately knew what to look for...as in, it was a thing they were used to seeing in CrossFitters.

It wasn't funny when he almost died. I'm just reporting what happened - which included the docs having seen this before.

Evidently, "it was caused by an exercise induced tear in an artery and the subsequent healing process released a clot that caused the TIA."


This is also a thing with BJJ.
