Signs of Stroke

Stroke can strike anyone. Signs of stroke include: 1. Facial droop. Ask the person to smile. If one side of the face droops, that is one sign of stroke. 2. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 3. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange? If these signs appear, call 911. Stroke is a "Brain Attack".
