One major symptom of stroke is face drooping and having slurred speech. Try to recite a simple sentence in front of a mirror and observe for any signs of an attack.

Feel your body for any indication of numbness. Raise both your arms to the side to test if one side suddenly starts to drift downward.

Suffering from a stroke is considered a medical emergency. Proceed to your nearest hospital upon observing any of the symptoms. Stroke can permanently disable you if you fail to get immediate medical attention.
