+description:  Nothing will happen to me...
+
+---
+If there’s one thing I wish I had done differently when I was hit by a stroke last January, it would be to go to the hospital immediately, within the Golden Hour (<4.5 hours),  instead of thinking I could just sleep it off.
+
+This “nothing will happen to me” attitude is common, especially among those under 50. But the truth is, strokes are rising sharply, up to nearly 30% of all strokes in the last few years, among 30 to 50-year-olds.
+
+When it comes to strokes, time is brain; every minute counts.
