What are the signs of a stroke?

Answer 1

When we suspect a stroke, we look at these things:

1. No symmetry between the sides of the face; one side of the mouth smiles, the other doesn't move.

2. One arm can be raised, the other can't.

3. Inability to say simple phrases.

If you see any of these things, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Answer 2

The symptoms of stroke depend on what part of the brain is damaged. In some cases, a person may not even be aware that he or she has had a stroke.
Usually, a SUDDEN development of one or more of the following indicates a stroke:
* Weakness or paralysis of an arm, leg, side of the face, or any part of the body
* Numbness, tingling, decreased sensation
* Vision changes
* Slurred speech, inability to speak or understand speech, difficulty reading or writing
* Swallowing difficulties or drooling
* Loss of memory
* Vertigo (spinning sensation)
* Loss of balance or coordination
* Personality changes
* Mood changes (depression, apathy)
* Drowsiness, lethargy, or loss of consciousness
* Uncontrollable eye movements or eyelid drooping
If one or more of these symptoms is present for less than 24 hours, it may be a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA is a temporary loss of brain function and a warning sign for a possible future stroke.
