Sometimes the signs of a stroke are difficult to identify. Not being able to recognize the signs can spell disaster. A stroke can result in death, or brain damage. Use the acronym STR , to see if they have the signs of a stroke.
S - Ask the individual to Smile.
T - Ask them to Talk and speak. Ask them to stick out there tongue, it should be straight.
R - Ask the person to raise both arms.
If a person has any trouble doing any of these tasks call 911 for help.
