Having a stroke isn't something that only happens to the elderly. Young people are at risk, too. And it’s not confined to elderly, overweight smokers who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either by a blood clot or bleeding. The results can be devastating at any age. Without treatment, cells in the brain quickly begin to die. These “brain attacks” can lead to serious disability or death.
