My brother is 44 years old and suffered a stroke last week. Every sign/symptom you listed was exactly what he experienced. His wife is a nurse and recognized right away what was a going on. He was treated immediately and is expected to make a great recovery. Thank you for helping me understand more about strokes. I have been trying to find out more about them since this happened and your site is very helpful. Is it typical to have a stroke so young (44)?
