I received an email which was entitled, 4 signs of stroke. I would want to share it to you so you would know the indications of a stroke :)
- ask the person to smile
- ask the person to talk and speak a simple sentence (coherently)
- ask the person to raise both arms
If the individual has any problem with any of these tasks, probably, he or she is experiencing stroke. Another sign of stroke is this:
4. ask the person to stick out his/her tongue (if the tongue is crooked or going from one side to another, it is an indication of stroke)
* note: twenty percent of those who experience stroke are below 55 years old, so not only elders experience this.
