How to identify any possible signs of someone experiencing a Stroke:

Face- Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven or lopsided?

Arms- Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

Speech- Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.

Time- If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 999 and get them to the hospital immediately.
