Claire Whitehouse, who had a severe stroke in 2010 at the age of 19, said she had to learn how to walk and live life again.

Her friend who had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or 鈥榤ini stroke鈥� in her early 20s was able to receive treatment quickly, "recovered extremely well鈥� and now 鈥渓ives a perfect life鈥�.

The Stroke Association has warned thousands of people are putting themself at risk of a full stroke as they don鈥檛 realise they have suffered a 鈥榤ini-stroke鈥�.

Ms Whitehouse, who is now 23 and campaigns for better stroke awareness said mini-strokes could be looked at 鈥渁s a positive note because you can control it that way鈥� and serve as 鈥渁 warning sign鈥�.
