Stroke Identification

Just imagine that one your friends falls down. He convinces you that he's fine and nothing is wrong. The next day, you learn that he's in hospital in a serious condition. Guess what happened? Your friend just had a stroke on the previous day! To some people, strokes can also be fatal!

According to neurologists, strokes which are treated with 3 hours can be completely cured with almost no side effects. But the main part is recognizing the stroke.

Always remember the first three letters of the word and follow some steps.

S - Ask the person to smile
T - Ask the person to speak a sentence
R - Ask the person to raise both arms.

If the person is unable to any of these tasks, then urgent action is required. Another way to detect a stroke is to ask the person to stick out their tongue. If the tongue is crooked, then the individual is probably suffering from a stroke.

Next time something like this happens, don't assume it to be something small. You might just be seeing that person for the last time.
