✔  Why does this happen:

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked, preventing oxygen from reaching the areas that control movement.

This causes muscle weakness or paralysis, usually affecting one side of the body.

🚨  How to recognize it:

  • Ask the person to raise both arms. If one arm drops, it’s a warning sign.
  • Look at their faces. One side might droop as they try to smile.
  • Check your grip. One hand may feel noticeably weaker than the other.

💡  What to do:

  • If you notice this symptom, call an ambulance immediately.
  • Don’t wait for the problem to go away: every minute is precious!

If someone suddenly starts having trouble speaking, understanding words, or forming sentences, they may be having a stroke.
