How to spot a stroke

Image 1. Click to open in original size.

There are three easy to spot signs of stroke. Since a stroke affects one wide of the body you can use these symptoms:

  • Face dropping. If it isn’t obvious you can ask the person to smile which will make it more visible if one side is different than the other.

  • Arm weakness. Ask the person to raise both hands above their head. Is one starting to drift down?

  • Speech difficulty. Ask the person to say a sentence like “the sky is blue”. Is speech slurred or hard to understand?

If any of these symptoms are present you should call emergency services.
