For a long time, conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and kidney failure were thought of as older people's problems. But that picture is changing. We're seeing more and more stories of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s suffering strokes, being diagnosed with hypertension, and facing serious health challenges that previous generations might only have encount...
