Minimac,

Your "pointy/edgy object skull penetration" did not cause a stroke. You did not cause an impact that traumatized the brain and vascular structure.

First, you did not penetrate the skull. Second, you barely scraped the outer layer of skin.

You did not have an open brain injury nor a penetrating brain injury. Neither of those would cause a stroke even though they would cause damage to brain tissue.

A stroke happens when the skull has not been penetrated but somehow, the vascular stricture has been damaged by trauma or high blood pressure or clogged by a blood clot or plaque.

Anxiety can cause a stroke by causing high blood pressure. This is one of the reasons anxiety needs to be treated and resolved.
