Recognising the symptoms of a stroke can save a life! 1. Ask the person to say a simple sentence. Check for slurring of words. 2. Ask the person to close their eyes and raise both their arms over their head. If one arm cannot lift as high as the other, this is a sign of weakness on one side of the body and can indicate that a stroke has occurred. 3. Ask the person to smile. Check for any drooping on either side.
