The first thing you should do is call 911.

Keep notes of their symptoms, and if you aren’t sure if they are having a stroke you can do the “fast stroke test”.

Perform CPR if it is necessary.

Most patients don’t need CPR, but if the patient is unconscious check their pulse call 911 then do CPR.

Do not let the patient fall asleep no matter what.

They often feel tired when the stroke first happens.

Don’t let the person talk you out of calling 911.

Do not give them Medicine, drinks, or any type of food.

There are two types of strokes.

Hemorrhagic stroke and an Ischemic stroke.

Drive the patient to the ER.

Make sure to take action as fast as possible and stay focused on helping the person.
