Reginald liked to eat a lot of salt with his food. Whatever he ate, he would always add plenty of salt and seasonings.
He never considered himself unhealthy, did not exercise and was getting overweight.
In march 2015, Reginald, who worked in a restaurant collapsed as he was going about his normal duties at work. Before his collapse he stated to a co-worker he felt dizzy and not feeling well.
He was in the hospital for days and felt he had lost the use of the right side of his body after gaining consciousness. Various investigations confirmed he had mild stroke caused by a blood clot. He took medications to control his blood pressure and cholesterol and begun physiotherapy. Having a stroke at 38years was a big shock to him. "I thought stroke only happened to old men and women" he stated. It took him a long while to come to terms with his new diagnosis. "It's a hidden disability I can't explain" he said. He is now careful of what he eats,greatly reduced his salt intake and exercising more. "If I feel like a snack, I'll have a fruit" he said.
