I am 26 and nervous about the possibility of stroke. i saw an article where a woman had a stroke from having her hair washed at the salon. i just had my hair done yesterday and my neck hurts from the sink. i am nervous it will happen to me?

Very unlikely: Very unlikely but had been reported especially with some genetic conditions

Kinking: If your neck is kinked or twisted in a severe way, it is possible to block blood flow in a carotid artery which may lead to a stroke. However, fortunately this is a rare occurrence. Your neck discomfort was from sort of strain and won't cause a stroke as it would have occurred at the time of neck kinking.
