Sarah Porter in her 26 years of age has lived through two strokes and two brain surgeries. She was only 20 years old when she had the first experience of brain stroke.

As per the information from Dailymail, Sarah Porter was in her math class when she felt the mysterious brain stroke for the first time. She was unaware that it was the symptoms of the stroke, but the girl next to her noticed the uneasiness in her.

Sarah had to go through such a situation due to the lack of awareness about the symptoms of a brain stroke. In her brain, there was an abnormal cluster of blood vessels which was undiagnosed. And it was the reason for her to go through in such a medical situation at a very young age.

The National Stroke Association has earlier reported that approximately 800,000 people experience a stroke every year. Brain stroke is the major reason for most of the death and adult disability in the U.S. 80 percent of strokes can be prevented if it's given proper treatment without delay.

Sarah was confident of her health and was considering her first experience of the brain stroke as a non-sense. She was never ready to go to the hospital considering her examinations, but she couldn't hold it so long. Both her parents are doctors and they immediately recognized the symptoms and she was admitted to the hospital.

Sarah's age made it hard for the nurse to believe about her medical condition. With the timely act of her brother and the doctors, she survived from a hemorrhagic stroke. Among the brain strokes, hemorrhagic stroke is a rarest stroke in which the blood, overflows with the burst of a blood vessel in the brain. Also, it deprives the blood flow to the other adequate parts of the brain.

The patients with hemorrhagic stroke have the least chance to survive as most of them die within 24 hours. The patients who survived may not live much longer than a week. But Sarah has survived from her brain stroke and is currently working for the neurosurgeon who helped her to survive.
