“Time is critical for treating stroke. The earlier people recognize symptoms, the better their chances are to reduce long-term disability from stroke,”he added.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or disrupted.
Strokes can cause brain damage and death. In fact, stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Some symptoms of stroke at young adults include:
1. Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body
Sudden weakness, numbness, or tingling, especially on one side of the body, is one of the most common and easily recognizable signs of a stroke. This can include the face, arm, or leg. This symptom occurs without warning. For example, one side of the face might droop, or a person might not be able to lift one arm. This is due to the interruption of blood flow to certain areas of the brain that control movement and sensation.
