THERE are a number of signs of a stroke, many of which can come on suddenly. The Stroke Association says: “Stroke strikes every five minutes in the UK. It can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time. It’s vital to know how to spot the signs of a stroke in yourself or someone else.”

The organisation adds: “A stroke can happen to anyone, but there are some things that increase your risk of a stroke. It’s important to know what the risk factors are, and do what you can to reduce your risk.” The CDC says sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body is a sign of a stroke.
