Is your mouth drooping to one side when you smile? If it looks like this then it could be the first sign of stroke. Many times the patient does not know by feeling himself but can easily understand from the person in front.

  • A arms means bah: After this you ask the person to raise both his hands. If one hand is not able to rise up or falls down on its own. If you suddenly feel weakness or numbness in the hand, then this sign indicates that the part of the brain that controls the movement of the body is being affected.

  • S speech means difficulty in speaking: Ask the patient to speak any simple sentence like name, address or anything else. If the person is not able to speak clearly while speaking, his voice is wavering, then this is also a serious sign of stroke.
