Alli Bate, now 39, from Warrington, has warned "strokes can happen at any age and do not discriminate" after she experienced a haemorrhagic stroke, which is a life-threatening condition where blood from an artery begins bleeding into the brain. The former counsellor and teacher said she was enjoying a meal with her mates when she began to experience a severe migraine. She left the dinner early and had hoped to "sleep it off" like she usually did when she noticed a headache coming on, but her condition worsened and she was rushed to hospital on August 7 last year. "My partner Olivia called for an ambulance and we found out I was having a stroke. I didn't have a clue what was going on as I was so out of it," she recalled. Prior to the stroke, Alli had been experiencing migraines more frequently, which she believes "masked" any other symptoms. She added that she never suspected it could be a stroke given her young age. According to the Stroke Association, the most common symptom of a haemorrhagic stroke is a sudden, severe headache, often referred to as a thunderclap headache.
