'BE FAST' ... National Stroke Awareness Day: Why more young people are having strokes
– Oct. 29 is National Stroke Awareness Day and while many may associate strokes with advanced age, the percentage of people under the age of 45 is on the rise.
Model and media personality Hailey Bieber shared her own experience with a stroke at the age of 25, sparking a conversation about the occurrence of strokes in young adults. Doctors said Bieber’s experience was the result of a “perfect storm” of things, including a long flight she had taken without getting up and moving around, and she had also just recovered from COVID, which some doctors believe produces blood clots. On top of that, Bieber had a pre-existing heart condition she wasn’t aware of.
“Even doctors think of stroke to be for older people. Unfortunately, the risk is rising with young people and I think there are a lot of reasons for that,” Kelsey Seybold neurologist Dr. Desiree Bobino Thomas said.
