Would be unlikely: In your age group, spontaneous stroke would be quite unique. Main cause might be a traumatic carotid or vertebral dissection rather rare, but can be seen with motor vehicle accidents, even chiropractic adjustments to the neck. Rare diseases such as homocysteinuria perhaps, as well as mthfr mutations, and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, but again very infrequent. Do not worry, low risk.

No: Strokes are more common in older people. If you are anxious the symptoms of anxiety can mimic the symptoms of a stroke. The best you can do is live a healthy lifestyle: don't smoke, eat healthy, exercise, and relax...

Strokes: A stroke can occur at any age, but the risk dramatically climbs after age 55. If strokes run in your family, then you should try to find out why. Estrogen-containing contraceptives increase the risk, especially if you smoke. Long road trips or plane rides can cause you to develop a DVT, which is a stroke risk. Certain surgeries increase your risk, too.
