What Are the Symptoms of Stroke?
1. Loss of speech, difficulty talking, or understanding what others are saying. If you suspect a person experiencing the stroke, Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange and if he has difficulty with speech, call for a help.
2.Weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? If he cant raise or lift his hands suspect that he is under the attack of a stroke. It is a crucial time at this moment to address the need of the patient.
