    Face
    Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?

    Arm
    Can they lift both arms?

    Speech
    Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?

    Time
    Is critical. If you see any of these signs call emergency straight away.

    Yes Dennis get her to hospital, when I had my bleed the pain was at the back of my head, it felt like a clamp had been attached to my head, the pain was terrible. If she won't go willingly phone for an ambulance, it sounds serious.

    There are a few:


    A sudden, severe headache with no known cause, double vision, drowsiness, and vomiting are possible early warning signs of a stroke. Other early symptoms may include sudden confusion, trouble speaking, and dizziness. If you or someone else experiences these signs, consider it an emergency and seek medical attention right away. http://stroke.emedtv.com/stroke/early-warning-signs-of-a-stroke.html

    Ile will try to get her to hospital Colleen,thanks,

    Most of the people I have known who have had a stroke, have been unable to speak and move one side of their bodies. When my mother had one she couldn't speak or move at all, and she lived about four weeks, but I have had friends who have had them, and they spoke but not clear, and they were temporarily disabled. They are caused by either a clot touching the brain ,or a bleed on the brain. I had a bleed on my brain stem 13 years ago, I was lucky it didn't lead to a stroke,and I'm still here. It was a long time before I felt right again.
