This site has a lot of information on how to spot a stroke and what to do. I have always been told to ask the person their name, tell them to smile and to repeat a simple sentence. Hope this helps!

1. Ask the person to smile
2. Ask the person to raise both arms
3. Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If they have trouble with any of these, it could be a stroke. Call 911.

Whenever your uncertain about something as serious as a stroke please contact your physician immediately because if you have a stroke, medication must be given in a a short time period to lessen the effects of a not so good outcome. Please visit an urgent treatment facility or an ER ASAP.

I think you should see a doctor, but they say if you can't raise your arms as usual it's a stroke.

Obviously since you have asked this question more than twice in the last 30 minutes, you have real concerns.
If you want helpful feedback, edit your questions and tell us the symptoms you are having.

if you have weakness on one side, one side drawed, slured speach. If you have the symptoms you need to go to the Dr. and they can run a CAT scan and then you'll know for sure.
