young stroke

It is alarming to see more and more young patients coming with stroke or paralysis.

I would like to warn,

taking over the counter steriods pill or

pill to boost your muscular body which include anabolic steriod can be very dangerous.

It particularly predisposes to stroke , exact nature of association is not known but can cause both

ischemic type or hemmorrhagic stroke .

Please refer to earlier blogs to know more about the types of stroke.

In India the young stroke are more comonly due to cardioembolic source, particularly the valvular heart disease. 

Also i would like to raise a caution in individuals with migraine

if you get any unusual features then your usual type of headache, please visit a neurologist.(other physician may not understand the gravity easily and may loose important time. 

The unusal feature could prolongation in  your usual time of headache , sudden increase in severity of headache, new deficit ie weakness, loss of vision, double vision etc
