Of course, people will give you stroke prevention advice all over the place – you know the drill, exercise, eat your broccoli, and lay off the drink. But what if there were something about a situation that was a high risk of a stroke, but that kind of advice was never passed around? Because you weren’t forty and overweight; you were in fact ten, and weighed about 75 pounds?
Could that even happen? No one could be healthier than an active and happy ten-year-old. Why on earth should they get a blockage in an artery leading up to the brain, that would cut them down and confine them to a wheelchair? If you have never heard of this, don’t blame yourself. Apparently, doctors haven’t really heard that much about this either.: even as strokes kill babies and children under 18 at the rate of about 10,000 every year. How would you even begin with seizure- and stroke-prevention in a husky young child?
