stroke symptoms young people

By any chance was your stroke a carotid artery dissection? This one is the most common one for people ages 30-60 which is also considered young for a stroke. And what generally causes it is trauma from a car accident, chiropractic treatment, sneezing, coughing, or just spontaneously for no reason. That's the kind of stroke that I had, totally out of the blue with no risk factors.

Just wondered if there are any "young" stroke survivors out there. My very healthy athletic husband had an unexplained massive right side stroke Sept 2014 at age 47, (yah, no spring chicken I know, but still...) He got the TPA in time, however he had a bleed anyway causing more damage and an emergency craniotomy for the swelling. He is lucky to have survived but the stroke has taken it's toll on him, but he is fighting hard to make a comeback.

I am not trying to scare you but a stroke is rather serious. Do some research and if you think the symptoms match up force her to see a doctor. whether she believes in them or not this could save her from having a more serious stroke, which could do anything from paralyzing one side of the body or even death. I'm sorry to scare or worry. As I said, I may be wrong, this is only a best guess from a college student, who works with children and took a first aid and cpr course.

Hi I had a stroke 3 months ago. I am 33. It was scary coz I always thought strokes only happened to old people. Is there anyone else out there who's had a stroke at a young age?

Hi Brodo256, I also had a stroke and have been looking for groups/message boards for young people who have had strokes. I haven't found too much, but there are a few groups on facebook. It seems like all the resources are for parents of young kids/babies who have had strokes or much older people who have had strokes. When did you have your stroke? How have you been doing since?

Somehow I think if cannabis use were the cause for young people having strokes, many more people would have suffered them. I do think there is a problem with not knowing what someone is getting, in terms of strength. We need testing and decriminalization. http://www.eastbayexpress.

You have to wonder why is Stroke affecting so many young people nowadays.

Hello there. I had a brain MRI done for headaches and luckily there was no tumor. But there are a few scattered foci of T2 hyperintensity within the white matter of centrum semiovale and corona radiata as well as subinsular region. Otherwise unremarkable exam. I had a lyme test done today and lupus test. I am also going to a neurologist at the end of the month. My doctor does not think MS or any of the other differential diagnoses since I don't have symptoms.

stopping alcohol intake can improve the ataxia but if it is severe, some permanent symptoms may remain. In patients with cerebellar stroke, with intensive physical and occupational therapy over weeks to months, symptoms may become minimal and may even resolve completely.

re young and I hate to see young people suffering from anxiety at a time when they should truly be enjoying life. Take care...

Being able to identify real stroke symptoms and psychological ones has been very important to me. My stroke changed my personality and mind set of every day life, which has been one of the hardest things to overcome, but it can be done. A positive attitude is absolutely vital for recovery. Constantly worrying about another stroke can crush your motivation and every day life.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR !!!!! HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TELL YOU WHAT IS WHAT ??? AND NO ONE IS TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD TO GET A STROKE OR SOMETHING .....

Recently I was at my friends house for a social gathering and I experienced what I thought at the time was a mini stroke. Symptoms appeared out of nowhere and included drooping of facial muscles on left side of face, slurring and difficulty forming sentences, chest pain, visual hallucinations (including but not limited to room breathing i.e lights getting brighter and dimmer), as well as numbness of my limbs and face and trouble standing/dizziness.

m so sorry. This was such a serious situation for this young man. What was the cause of his stroke? What has happened? Did he live?

These could be symptoms of stroke also but you are too young to get stroke unless and until you have a risk factor for stroke like High BP. In the meantime take OTC pain killers, apply ice packs on the affected part of head. A cu of coffee may also help. Keep us posted.

Actually, it's just one person, as of right now. She keeps calling me asking how i'm feeling, asking if I've shown any symptoms of a stroke(I had one with my daughter) ok, look, my doctor's office is right down the street, and if I can't be seen there, the hospital is closer than the doctor's office. Im doing what I'm supposed to be doing, taking all the precautions. Why do you insist on calling me and asking me the same question every time I talk to you?!

If there was evidence of an acute stroke on the MRI, investigation for causes of stroke in a young person (of which there are many many causes including blood clots from various areas of the body including heart and legs, various clotting tendencies including the clotting tendency that occurs in all women around pregnancy but also other hereditary or non-hereditary clotting disorders, and some genetic disorders such as CADASIL and mitochondrial disorders).

His doctor has given him an MRI, and he has no sign of stroke or tumor. Are these typical symptoms or a person that attempts to quit after excessive use for a long period of time? Also, his tolerance level changed, which made him stop in the first place, along with family intervention.
