Every year, over 795,000 people in the U.S. experience a stroke, with incidents increasing among younger age groups. A study by the CDC highlights a 14.6% rise in strokes among individuals aged 18 to 44 and a 15.7% increase among those aged 45 to 64. The warning signs of stroke may not always be typical, as highlighted by a personal account of a stroke at the age of 39. Neurologists emphasize the importance of awareness and understanding of strokes, with one expert sharing insights during Stroke Awareness Month.
