Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

*Ask the individual to SMILE.

*Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

*Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

That's good to know, Jim. :)

I know a guy that had a mild stroke, his first sign was his coffee spilling out of one side of his mouth. It would run down his chin and onto his shirt. He had a liitle knumbness but not much but he knew something wasn't right.

When I had my first stroke I didnt know it. i was at work at my desk and I looked down my arm was red from blood. A small vessel in my eye and ear burst. So now if I dont eat rite or regular I get slurred speech or I speak backwords sometimes. And my arm goes numb. But having a stroke or knowing the signs is nothing to joke about.

Dan, I don't think Davy was joking. I know I wasn't. :)

I remember my Dad had those symptoms once, my brother and I took him to a hospital ER. I had to tell the idiot MD on duty I suspected a stoke. It was. :shake:

I get all those symptoms occasionally, but only after having had more than a twelver of Millers. Thanks for the tip, Jim. Next time I'll call 911.

:D

Jim's right, I wasn't joking. I believe John was though, nah, he wasn't either. :)

This is a very important subject, especially for the ones ageing like JB, ff, and my wife. Symptoms are important to recognize early, in most cases this can be dealt with in an emergency room, if you get there asap. This has happened in our family and the outcome was good because she recognized her symptoms and called for help.
