Strokes in younger adults under the age of 45 has more than doubled over the past 20 years.

Cameron Harris, a 37-year-old mother of two, became one of the thousands of adults under the age of 45 to suffer a stroke last year.

KMBC talked to Cameron and Dr. Coleman Martin, a neuro interventionalist at Saint Luke's Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute, about how stroke can happen at any age.
