strokes of any kind can happen to anyone at risk at any time. the importance is to be able to recognize the signs & symptoms of stroke and get medical attention right away if any occur.

A stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain can’t get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it starts to die.
Clots that block an artery cause death and this is most likely to occur in older adults, but it has been shown to occur now in younger generations because of poor eating habits and High Blood Pressure.

No, they are often misdiagnosed in young people. They are rare but do happen, I have heard of two cases. Both were said to be something other than a stroke at first.

You are never too young to die...
No matter how much medicine has advanced, there is always the chance that someone could die of a stroke, regardless of how young they are.

Nope, we had some kids in the emergency department with cocaine overdoses who had strokes. Also infants can have strokes due to congenital abnormalities... Kids with brain tumors can have strokes.

You're never too young; however: it would be quite rare in someone so young.
