Was it a stroke i had? ?

Typically when one has a stroke , ONE SIDE is affected meaning if the blood vessel was in the left brain , the right side of the face would Droop, slurred speach happens because you loose control of the right side of your mouth the ambulance and doctors would ask you to squeeze they're hands with your hands and the side affected (we are using the Left brain/right side of body) the right hand would be weaker almost limp the right leg could support your weight, or might be totally useless, often unsuspecting stroke PT's go to get out of bed and end up on the floor in a heap, the arm didn't work, I thought I'd slept on it wrong is often stated ....it will vary somewhat with the sevarity of the stroke as well.. NO One is too young to have a stroke, its possible for children to have them, though not typical it Can and does Happen
