I am only 18 and recently had a STROKE??

I asked on here last week what some might think of when I said that I had lost my balance basically on the left side of my body -- I felt like I would run into a wall on my left all the time. Shortly after, I had a terrible headache for a couple of days before I finally went to the hospital. Turns out, it was no migraine or ear ache, but a stroke in my left cerebellum (the part that controls BALANCE and coordination)! Go figure! Anyone else have something like that happen?
