In recent years, the rise in stroke cases among young adults has made it crucial to recognize its common symptoms. Many believe that strokes are only common at the older adults, but that’s not the case.
Certain factors that contribute to this condition at the young population include unhealthy lifestyle, chronic stress, recreational drug use, birth control pills that include estrogen, as well as increasing prevalence of conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
The American Heart Association reports that the number of strokes at young adults have increased 40 percent in recent years. In fact, around 10-15 percent of strokes affect people aged 18 to 45.
