Common Symptoms of Stroke in Men & Women

The simplest way to recognize stroke symptoms is to use the FAST test. To perform the test, ask your loved one to smile, and check for drooping at the corners of the mouth to recognize facial paralysis. To look for other muscle weakness, ask your loved one to raise his or her arms, and note whether one arm appears to sink downward. Consider hiring a professional caregiver if your elderly loved one needs assistance managing the symptoms of stroke or other age-related conditions.
