Stroke in younger people Stroke is often considered an illness of old age, but many young people are affected by stroke too. Studies exploring the experiences of younger people affected by stroke and their families have identified common issues.  One of the most frequent feelings is people wish to be treated as individuals, and services in hospitals and communities need to be tailored to aid recovery and rehabilitation. The effects of stroke can put pressure on relationships with a partner and within the family.  Stroke can also cause difficulties with other responsibilities such as caring for children or going back to work.  These issues are explored more within this section. The information in this section has been adapted from the Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland leaflet "Stroke in younger people".   Questions frequently asked after stroke   Preventing a stroke   What is a stroke?   Stroke in younger people   High Blood Pressure   Atrial Fibrillation   Communication problems following stroke: Aphasia   Swallowing problems after stroke (Dysphagia)   Sex after stroke illness   Air Travel Information
