Rather than relying on your doctor to diagnose young adult strokes, it is much better for you to instruct your children to have all the classic signs.
It is your responsibility to have ALL the classic symptoms:
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.
Don't do the dizziness one, if you're a young adult you'll get nailed for intoxication of some sort.
