Jeff and Larry Critzer say having a stroke is a club that no one wants to join. They spoke with News4JAX along with one of their doctors, so people know the signs and how life can change without a moment’s notice.
“I was trying to compose an email and I couldn’t,” Jeff said. “I literally couldn’t compose a sentence together when I typed the email. My coworker said, ‘You gotta get out of here. Something’s going on with you.’”“I drove myself to the urgent care. My wife met me there. They said, ‘Your blood pressure’s high. We think you’re having a stroke. You need to go to the emergency room right away,’” he said.
“I would have never thought it was a stroke. Being so young. I was in relatively good shape. Come to find out it was a stroke and it scared me to death,” Jeff said.Jeff’s mother noticed something was off with his father, Larry, after asking him a question. Dr. Nima Aghaebrahim treated Larry and said family history is one of several risk factors when it comes to strokes.
Both father and son said they’re pretty much back to their old selves, but want people to know the signs and that time is of the essence.
