How do u know if u had a stroke?
My neighbour had a stroke last month, and we didn't realise it for a few hours. It got me thinking, how do you actually know if someone is having or has had a stroke? What are the signs?

A stroke is a major emergency shown by sudden loss of balance, face drooping on one side, and inability to raise your arm. If you or someone else has these, go to the hospital immediately without waiting. Rehabilitation and walking exercises can only start much later once your doctor declares you stable.

Having high blood pressure makes me highly aware of stroke risks, as hypertension is a leading cause. If you experience sudden, severe headache with no known cause, numbness, or trouble speaking, get to a hospital emergency room right away. Regular BP checkups and medication are key to preventing this.

It is incredibly scary to witness or experience a stroke, and the emotional toll on the family is very heavy. Sudden slurred speech, confusion, and numbness on one side of the body are clear signs. Please don't lose hope, but do act fast and get to an emergency room immediately.

Hey, don't stress too much right now, but definitely know the warning signs. If anyone suddenly has a crooked smile, can't hold their arm up, or is slurring words, it's a stroke. Just get them to the nearest hospital immediately instead of waiting around.

I always try home remedies first for small pains, but for a stroke, there is absolutely no home cure. If you see sudden numbness in the leg, difficulty understanding words, or vision loss, rush to the hospital immediately. Every minute counts to save brain cells.
