There are a number of risk factors associated with having a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) including obesity, atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries), high blood pressure, smoking, drug use... (for more info look up National stroke foundation in your area). Commonly a person will suffer a DVT (deep vein thrombosis - or clot in extremity) or a pulmonary embolism (lung clot) prior to a CVA... so if you have significant pain localised in your calf seek medical assistance ASAP. Also common signs of a CVA include confusion, weakness (usually on one side of the body) and difficulty with swallow or speech.
