•Stroke cases are rising in 30-40 year olds, debunking the myth it only affects the elderly, as clarified by Dr. Sudheer Kumar, Senior Neurologist at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad.
•80-90% of strokes are preventable through lifestyle changes like controlling blood pressure, quitting smoking, maintaining healthy weight, and regular exercise.
•Key symptoms include facial drooping, arm/leg weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, and vision problems; immediate medical attention is crucial.
