Suffered a stoke @ age 33, has anyone else at a young age?
Discussion
Morning all,
I suffered a stroke on Sunday morning while trying to fit new seats in my Westfield.
I felt a tingly mouth, faint and blurred vision - it lasted about 4 mins (all on CCTV as there is a camera in my garage which is a little strange to watch).
Still sat in hospital having had a CT, MRI, MRA, Echo scans so far with more to come as they are trying to find a cause still. I've got a little blurred vision in my left eye and what I can onl describe as a left hand which doesn't feel it belongs to me. I'm struggling to contract and my memory doesn't seem quite as good as it was.
Has anyone else suffered a stoke at a young age?
I know I'm not going to be able to drive for a month or so, not sure how I will feel about using the Westfield on track or if I will be able to hillclimb again?
I've handed my business over to my brother to look after as I'm sure the stress hasn't helped and don't quite feel myself at the moment.
Hoping I can escape hospital soon and go home to my wife.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
They think the have discovered a small hole in my heart which is an ASD. This should of closed up at birth but never has so I'm guessing will need fixing. Waiting on another MRA today to check the veins from my heart to my brain and maybe allowed home on Monday.
I already feel the left side of my body is behaving a little better although my mood swings are not good at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words.
Yesterday was I found a little stressful, not a lot happens at the weekend I have discovered and the MRA that was promised never happened which makes me feel a little Jekyll and Hyde.
I did have a nice Chinese meal brought in for me which was a nice change to the food here.
Another slow day today I think, fingers crossed tomorrow brings more progress.
On the other hand there are some strange people on the stoke ward, one likes to beat the crap out of the wall with a sign around 1AM demanding dinner and the other likes a good shout every few seconds.

Well I was let out on Monday following the latest MRA which showed all clear.
Now back at home trying not to do much and relax a little.
Not feeling overly keen to do any work on the Westfield as that was what I was doing when I had the stroke.
Appointment with a consultant next week to work out what next and how to go about fixing me.
Finding not been involved in my business quite hard at the moment.

Hi Ash,
Thanks for the reply - glad you are back to your normal self.
I was tying to get the new seats in my Westfield at the time so was bent over and folded around the roll cage.
What did they end up doing to your heart in the end, how long was the he recovery from when you had the stoke/ surgery?
Did you have any restrictions on driving other than the initial month?
