I saw this today on Business Insider – A nurse and Crossfitter who had a stroke at age 29 is urging young people to know the signs: ‘If I can have a stroke, so can all of you’: https://www.insider.com/nurse-crossfitter-had-stroke-age-29-risks-2022-2. Longer article. She has a risk factor that can be detected through some DNA tests – factor V Leiden.

Jayme Kelly thought she could sleep it off.
The then-29-year-old nurse living near Boston had woken up numb in her right arm and leg, unable to walk to the bathroom or unlock her phone.
But she figured she’d just slept on her limbs wrong and everything would be back to normal after a little more rest. After all, Kelly was young, ate healthy, and did Crossfit regularly.
But when Kelly’s roommate found her a few hours later unable to speak, the roommate called 911. “Now I’m freaking out, like, what’s wrong with me?”

Wow timely; my wife’s sister in law didn’t have a stroke but seizure while at the crossfitter style gym workout last week and this made me think about that

It can be seizure or stroke, but always best to have them checked out regardless of circumstance. I have a family history of stroke and seizures although I haven’t had either.
