Symptoms of Strokes | HealthmadStrokes can hit at any age but are more common in those over 60 years old. Even young people can have strokes caused from undetected health problems or illness. People who are overweight, have hypertension or who smoke are most prone to strokes. Migraine sufferers who have auras are also at greater risk. It’s a good idea to have check ups at least once a year to keep blood pressure under control and detect any other problems that might contribute to strokes.
