IF ONLY THEY KNEW...A friend's mother suffered a hemorrhagic stroke while she was driving home from my house at 7:30 and passed away at 8:30. Her stroke and passing was an enormous shock to the family because she did not have any symptoms or risk factors for a stroke.
Just the week before she had gone to her doctor for a check up and received a clean bill of health. She did, however, develop a cold while she was visiting her family, and had taken Alka Seltzer Cold Plus for 3 days. Since her passing, the family has learned that Alka Seltzer is one of the many cold medicines that contains PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE (PPA).
