Strokes in younger people usually imply some other (often treatable) causes.
Extremely high blood pressure, heart defects, abnormal blood vessels, and clotting problems (often due to inherited or autoimmune disease) often are causes.
Smoking can also contribute.

The hearts aren't the ones that have the stroke, it's the person that has the stroke.
Ischemic strokes account for about 80% of all strokes.
Strokes can lead to cognitive (brain) and physical damage, from mild to severe implications. In severe stroke, a person can be left without the capacity to think, feel, and move their body.
Strokes in and of themselves can cause the person to have seizures. Depakote is an antiepileptic med, so it helps reduce or eliminate the possibilty of seizure in those affected by strokes.
People experience strokes because of different reasons. It could originate from a condition in the heart. the person could have a blood disorder which is prone to clotting, which can lead to a stroke. It can be genetic. Sometimes viruses can cause it. Occasionally stress. And sometimes, its just completely random.
Anybody can have a stroke. A stroke is a failure of a blood vessel in the brain, whether by rupture or clot. Older people are more at risk from strokes (lifestyle, degeneration etc) but young people, through trauma or congenital predisposition, can be vulnerable too.
Yes, even if you're young. Two types of strokes can happen from ongoing stimulant use: ischemic & hemorrhagic.
they should examine the young person until they actually see that they ARE using it.... send other kids like the young person to hang out with the young person. when they finally catch the young person using crack, they come to you and tell you that they ARE using it.
