When someones havinf a stroke do you do cor?

My uncle had a stroke last year, and it was a very scary time for our family. I've been thinking about what we should do in such an emergency. If someone is having a stroke, should we perform CPR immediately, or is there something else that needs to be done first?

No, if someone is having a stroke, CPR is generally not the first response unless they have stopped breathing and their heart has stopped. The immediate thing to do is call emergency services (like 102 or 108 in India) and get them to a hospital immediately. Recognize the signs like facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty. Act FAST.

For a stroke, no, you don't do CPR unless their heart stops completely. The main thing is to rush them to the hospital. Call an ambulance immediately. Home remedies are for small things, not for something as serious as a stroke. Time is very important.

No, CPR is for cardiac arrest, not typically for a stroke. With a stroke, the brain is not getting enough blood, so you need to get them to a hospital FAST. Recognize the symptoms: F-Face drooping, A-Arm weakness, S-Speech difficulty, T-Time to call emergency. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle can reduce stroke risk, but once it happens, it's medical emergency time.

Definitely not CPR right away for a stroke, unless they're unconscious and not breathing. The most crucial thing is to call for an ambulance immediately and get them to a hospital. Look for symptoms like one side of the face drooping, arm weakness, or slurred speech. Every minute counts!

I am not a medical professional, but from what I understand, CPR is for when someone's heart stops. For a stroke, the most important thing is to get them to a hospital as fast as possible. I would immediately call for an ambulance if I suspected a stroke. Knowing the FAST symptoms (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) is what I recall learning.

Yaar, for a stroke, you *don't* do CPR unless the person collapses and their breathing stops completely. Actually, the main thing is to call 108 or whatever emergency number fast! Time is super critical. Look for the FAST signs, you know? Face drooping, arm weakness, speech problems. Get them to a hospital ASAP.
