He is 72, slight slurred speech. CAN sign his name, just, with partial loss of right arm co-ordination/control. Memory, vision, OK, locomotion bit slow. Has normal to low blood pressure. Is under-weight. Gave him an aspirin when it happened early hours this morning. Slept. Got up for o.j. and tea+biscuits. Can't get to doc or friends or hospital. Is it ischaemic? Clot? Haemorrhage? What more can I do for him, please?

need to take him to a hospital right now , no kidding he could die no kidding, he has all the symptoms especially at his age , that clot is blocked and it could stop the blood flow at any second. A friend's relative in her 40's stumbled at a BBQ ,she got back up , had slight slurred speach for a while , but they sat her down , got her a drink and didn't check anything else out she insisted she was ok ...she had a stroke and died a few hours later no joke please find a way to get him to hospital now

You used a computer to ask your question, don`t you have access to 911 ? why are you wasting time with this poor helpless 72 yr.old who`s depending on you for assistance?

Home treatment
Keep the person calm and still, and sitting or lying with head and shoulders elevated. Keep head and neck cool.

call for help, sounds like he needs doctor. At least an ambalance can get him to the hospital.
