A stroke, or cerebral vascular attack, may be suffered by anyone at any age, from the fetus to the elderly. Strictly speaking, anytime blood flow to the brain has been compromised by obstruction of the brain's blood vessels, a stroke has occurred. Such an event may be caused by an embolism (a clot, air bubble, or plaque which occludes a vessel), which can potentially occur at any life stage. That said, strokes are much more common with increased age, and obesity is a risk factor for this life-threatening event.

It is called a heat stroke. It is when you get too hot.

The easiest way to know if you are about to have a stroke is if you get dizzy, your vision is blurry, having hallucinations

Is 21 too old to be a doctor?

Its virtualy impossible to be a doctor at the young age of 21. You have to have years of college and training to be a qualified doctor. If you are asking if 21 is too old to start training as a doctor, the answer is no. The oldest person I knew was a woman who started her college training at the age of 34having married young, had three children AND recovered from a hemorrhagic stroke.
