What to do during a stroke?
My elderly father suffered a stroke a few days ago, and it was a terrifying experience for all of us. While waiting for medical help, what are the immediate steps one should take during a stroke to minimize damage?

Call 108 or whatever emergency number is there in your city right away. Every second counts.
Oh, please, PLEASE call emergency services immediately if you suspect a stroke. Don't wait or think it will pass. My uncle ignored his symptoms and the delay caused much bigger issues later. Time is brain here.
If you suspect a stroke (remember the FAST acronym: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911/108), the first and only step is to call for an ambulance. Don't give them anything to eat or drink. Just try to keep them calm and safe.
Haan na, if someone is having stroke symptoms, immediately call for an ambulance. Don't try home remedies or anything. Just keep the person comfortable and wait for the medical help to arrive, ho na.
Bhai, behan, if someone suddenly starts feeling weak on one side, or can't speak properly, call the big hospital ka number immediately. Don't delay, even for a minute. Bhagwan kare sab theek ho.
I had a minor stroke last year. The most important thing is to recognize the signs quickly: face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty. If you see ANY of these, don't think, just get medical help. My family saved me by acting fast.
In emergencies like a stroke, the best thing is to take the person to a well-equipped hospital ASAP. Max Hospital doctors always say 'time is critical'. Don't waste time self-diagnosing or trying to move them too much, just get expert help.
