Recognize the signs of stroke FAST - Witness

- Would you know when someone is having a stroke? Recognizing the signs and acting quickly could mean the difference between life and death, or between a full recovery and lasting disability. Just remember FAST, which stands for: Face - is it drooping? Arms - can you raise both? Speech - is it slurred or jumbled? And Time, to call 9-1-1 or your local emergency service right away.
the ambulance got there in like 10 sec
No it just went fast forward in time

They were lucky the ambulance was parked in front of their house.

They live next to the ambulance station 😂
Acting fast is one thing, the ambulance arriving fast is a different story
Honestly
"we be there in 45"
One time I was having an asthma attack, and the ambulance didn’t even turn up! Luckily, my asthma barely affects me now.
@@PorterStatsTheSecond asthma is basically low priority. You can ride them out sitting against a wall. I've done it
@@SocietyIsSoFucked That does still not excuse the ambulance never turning up.
The only unrealistic thing in this situation is how quick the EMS arrived.
This is like a quick ed message vid or something lol they aren't gonna put the few minutes it takes. I will tell you though where I am at, they responded to my call pretty quick for my grandmother, but I'm _familiar_ with procedural stuff so it was an easy pass of info
It do be like that but also the pillow we don't carry pillows!!! 🤣
There is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is his messenger ☝🏻🇵🇸🇬🇧☪️
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book(Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Quran 9;29
I‘ve been witness to n accident in Hamburg on a big intersection… i was in the front passengers seat and the car in front of us knocked a passerby, so that the person flew like a sack of potatoes with a double flip in the air… the person landed on their collarbone… in shock he stood up taking a frw steps like a drunk… the ambulance was there in like 45 seconds… i‘ve become a very cautious driver… it was evenin, the car that hit him wasn’t speeding, that guy came out of the shadows…
This is so realistic, the way it happens so suddenly and out of nowhere when nobody is expecting it. That is exactly how it is in real life!
Other than the doctor standing in the room talking to you.
The face drooping isn’t always that extreme though.
Stfu there’s no ems showing up that quick
Other than the medic sprinting into the house
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO REMAIN CALM
I cant believe the guy actually had a stroke just for the scene. Thats acting dedication
He's very method.
crimmerz Absolutely amazing, 10/10
@@dennislawson5163 Stop talking shit.
I heard he was played by Christian Bale
Yeah
A helpful tip I was given in first aid training is not asking them to raise their arms but ask them to squeeze your hands. If you ask them to raise their arms and one doesn’t raise they will start to panic, the best thing to do is keep them calm. If they squeeze your hands and one hand isn’t squeezing then it’s still a clear sign of stroke but you can reassure them “good job” and they won’t start to panic.
that makes sense
This is excellent advice, thank you for taking the time to leave such a well thought out & important comment. I hope no one who reads this will ever have to use this information, but in the unfortunate event that they do, I hope it helps save a life.
My mom had a stroke last night. I’ve been a medical doctor for over a decade & suddenly it was like everything I’ve ever learned just fell out of my head. Luckily I was sitting next to her, and we were talking, so the second it began I knew she was having a stroke….first responders were heading to the ER with her only 5 minutes & 37 seconds after it started. She was in the ER less than 15 minutes after it started, and within 30 minutes she had already seen a neurologist. Because it all came together so quickly, she was an appropriate candidate for TPA. Today her speech has nearly returned to normal, and facial drooping is nearly gone. She feels good today & she’s expected to make a full recovery with no deficits. It’s so important to receive medical care as quickly as possible following a stroke - that’s what saved my mom’s life last night. Your advice here might just save the life of someone else’s loved one in the future. ❤
@@DrAnderson1 Thank you for for those words
Nah, you tell them to smile first. Then you tell them to close their eyes, you raise their arms for them, and you tell them to hold them there. You document any weakness. Then you test grip strength. No need to skip steps
excellent advice man, you never really know when it might come in handy
What is forgotten here: the person with a stroke will ALWAYS tell you not to call 911, due to the white matter brain damage. ALWAYS CALL 911, even if your Loved One disagrees!!! And also: NEVER PANIC
Why do they disagree can u explain
@@Sweetgirl25they don't understand that something is happening to them, because of Oxygen starvation in the brain.
My second stroke happened yesterday, 7 months after the first stroke. It took 6 months for me to get any news from a doctor that I had a stroke. Both strokes were involving a significant fuzzed out blind spot, first one in left vision, second in right vision. Plant based diet has helped me recover the left hand vision, got rid of confusion, I never had the FaST symptoms, it should be “Be Fast” Balance / Eyes / Face drooping / arm weakness or numbness / slur speech / time to call 911. Having only got the first stroke diagnosed last month in February, eventhough it happened back in August of prior year, I was the one who announced yesterday I need to go to the ER.
@@braveheartsbeardstudios How are you doing now?
This isn’t true
They NEED to show this in every school health class.
so we can actually learn somthing
I agree
Also off topic but it’s Mitchiko.
My science teacher never taught us about this until his wife had a stroke and he was absent for school that whole week. When he got back, he told us about the signs and stuff. Honestly I wish this was a part of curriculums and stuff.
Knowing Australian schools they wouldn't even pay attention instead talk about the next time they're gonna fuck
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
My dad went through same. He called me one evening saying that he isn't feeling well. When I rushed to him and took him to nearest clinic his facial structure turned the same as this guy. I cried my heart out. Right after two months he passed away. He was such a nice guy. Miss you dad
Sorry for your loss may he RIP
I am sooooo incredibly sorry sweetie. Rest In Power Dad ❤❤❤ You Are Loved
I am so sorry for your loss😔. May he rest in peace🙏🏽❤🕊.
God bless him, stay strong ♥️
Stroke still haunts me to this day. Last year I was like you, normal, carefree. Next thing I knew I collapsed in my room with a hemmoraghic stroke. Ambulance was over an hour late. I went into a coma for 2 weeks. Im lucky to be alive. Unfortunately half my body doesn’t work. Stroke can be devestating, life changing. Get to the hospital fast! Dont be like me. Stroke can happen to young people too, to anyone! Millions of brain cells die every second you wait and some of them cells are critical. For any of you suffering from stroke, look up neuroplasticity. Some function can be restored through repeated actions over months or years. I wish you all well.
do you know what caused your stroke?
What caused it glad your okay
My grandfather just had a massive stroke
@@Daisy-ji6nd Since it’s a hemmoraghic stroke, it was caused by a blood vessel bursting in your brain, causing a few (or more) brain cells to die.
Just Live Your Life the Best You Can, Look After Your Body, and Never Give Up
I lost my dad to massive stroke, followed by second major heart attack, he was alright just 24 hours before the impact...that day remains as vivid as present day. RIP papa
Greetings and condolences..May God grant us patience and replace this sadness with something better.✨
I’m Sorry for Your Loss, All You Can Do is Get On with Life as Much as You Can
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
"youre looking at a full recovery"....and a 50k hospital bill
Life is priceless
Not when you're from Europe
Elf man Or treatments should just be cheaper. Sometimes these things just happen, and you shouldn't be left with a massive bill because of happenstance.
@@elf5414 What about if it happens to people and they can't do anything about it? Ex. old people, people with histories of cardiovascular disease
This commercial is from Canada.
Why’d this scare tf out of me
Stealth Cell i was having so much anxiety just watching this
It was some demonic looking shit in the beginning
Don't be SCARE LOOKN FOR STORE W EARLY SIGNS N SYMPTOMS.... HOPE NOT BUT IF NEEDED BE PREPARE....ITS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.
Same I dont even have a dad and I'm feeling like "OH SHIT GRACEY DADS HAVING A STROKE MA SAID CALL 911 HURRY TF UP!!! YOU KNOW WHAT JUST GIMME THE FUCKING PHONE"
Dont be scared strokes can be prevented
Honestly this was accurate as all hell. I had an AVM in my brain burst while I was playing a game alone and had a stroke. I had the right side of my entire body go limp and I just collapsed on the floor.
I was still conscious so it wasn’t that bad, but it took awhile for my grandparents to find me and call my dad to take me to a hospital. At this point I was going in and out of consciousness. I went into a coma while I was in the car for 3 weeks and woke up with my upper left skull gone and couldn’t move my right side.
Fortunately, I got better and able to move and go to school again.
I hope you are feeling better man ❤ Strong you are!
This is especially terrifying because strokes are generally considered something that only older people deal with, but it can just happen like that
@@georgiykireev9678 yeah, I thought I would never have to deal with a stroke at 15
Thank God for your life!
WOW! 😳😳
this is better than many hollywood films with a good ending
Not really
you must watch some pretty shitty films isf you think this is good
better than a film? you sick fuck!!
U probably watch people dying for fun
@@yes.452 that is fun
I remember talking with my parents in their living room, everything seemingly so normal when out of nowhere my dad starts having a stroke. It was similar to this but a little more extreme due to him flailing his left leg and arm but was still conscious the whole time. He made it out the hospital and out of therapy but about 5 months later, he had a heart attack and passed away right in front of me. It happened about 6 months ago and I still don’t think ive fully come to grips with my dad actually being gone. I miss him a lot and hope to see him again someday. Cherish the time you spend with your family and don’t take it for granted because life is so short.
Just prayed for you. Hoping you find some peace. Jesus loves you more than you know.
I am so sorry 😞
Hope youre okay man, always here if you need to chat. Love from Australia bro
I am so sorry 💔 I hope you find some sense of comfort as you heal and I hope you have support around you
Death fucking sucks dude. But it can also be a beauty knowing that they’re at peace and you’ll only just become stronger ❤️
In my country we have a code for stroke signs that any citizen can recognize:
G - Govor (Speech)
R- Roke (hands)
O - Obraz (Face)
M - Minuta (Minute)
Grom = Thunder
Why mimics?
@@jtho8937 Speech such as nonsense talking etc
Idk why they put that as mimics been questioning that since med college
🇸🇮🇸🇮☝️☝️☝️🇸🇮🇸🇮 najboljša država na svetu
Can explain in more details each symptom
@@Sweetgirl25
So "Govor" aka Speech. If a person is having a stroke. They'll talk gibberish or slurred speech
Roke - Hands: One part of the Body (Left and Right) will be effected. For example in Raising hand test. One arm will stand in its formation while the other hand will immediately fall (meaning that part of body is num, depends on the which side of the brain was effected by Hemorrhagic stroke) > because if left side of the brain is effected, right side of the body (arms, legs, feeling, etc) is effected too.
Obraz - Face: During stroke one side of the face (again, depends on which side of the the brain was effected by stroke; Left brain = Right side of the body, Right brain = Left side of the body) literally starts dropping (Facial asymmetry)
Minuta - Minute: The moment you see other mentioned signs it to immediately call AMBULANCE. Because here seconds literally counts. The longer the wait, the more devastating impacts the brain.
Loss of blood in brain = oxygen depletion, pressure and damaging brain tissue = death
The most unrealistic part of this video is the ambulance coming less than a minute after the call.
I hope if I ever have a stroke I have people around. Because my grandpa was found only later by my uncle and he never recovered. He couldn't speak or walk and he died before turning 60.
I'm so sorry
So sorry to hear that 😔
same for my grandmother found her at the bottom of the stairs still in her nightgown and she never recovered died couple days after her 95th birthday.
@@danielshakesheff2223 😔😪🙏 I'm sorry

This comment +1 made my day!
@@neogeo1670 - Saw it on a work friend when he came back to work from his minor stroke. It wasn't this pronounced, but I have to wonder why does a stroke distort the muscle instead of just being immobile?
Mom had a stroke just last month while at a place she’s never really eaten before that’s only a block down from a hospital and she said she felt normal until she tried to grab her keys and she fell from the table her server was a former EMT and they got her into the ER right away treated and now a month later she’s thriving again and I still have my mother with me what a miracle and im greatful to still have her
Excellent example. Thank you to everyone involved in the project.
My little brother died in 2019 because of stroke. Peopld who were taking care of him ignored those signs, accused him of pretending and laughed. They refused to call our mother, and to think they were adults. I sincerely hope this video can prevent situations like this of my brother's.
Please, never ignore people who ask you for help.
So sorry for your loss.
my father also died by stroke and i didn't find out early
so did you sue?
I am so sorry for your loss
@@vvondarko No, my mum and father didn't want to continue all of this, I wanted them to but they said it wouldn't bring him back so nothing happened
This hits hard since my dad had a hemorrhagic stroke this past December, especially when it happened almost exactly the same way as it did in this video. My mom got home from work and was having a normal conversation with him while I played video games in my room. Then I heard my mom yelling “why is your face drooping???”, and that was it. I remember us trying to drive him to the hospital but locked ourselves out of the house in a panic and I ended up calling 911. He was unresponsive and unable to give his name and DoB to the paramedics albeit being conscious. It was also much more difficult than it could have been because neither of my parents speak English, and since we speak an uncommon language I had to try to translate everything while feeling like I might pass out myself. It was just me in the back of the ambulance with him, and that 5 minute ride to the hospital felt like it lasted hours. It was raining so hard that night. All I could think about was a fight I got into with him over some silly things just moments before, and I wished to god that it wouldn’t be the last conversation I could have with him. I took him for granted.
When the urgent care doc told me that
my dad had a bleeding in his brain and he might be put on ventilator and/ or be paralyzed, I felt as if the world came crashing down on me. I never felt such immense feeling of doom in my life. My grandfather passed years earlier with the exact same type of stroke/ brain bleeding. I didn’t sleep for a week after that when I stayed in the ICU with him because I feared that each moment with him would be my last.
But my dad defied all expectations. He was discharged after 2 weeks and is expected to make a full recovery. He’s going through physical therapy right now, and I couldn’t be more thankful that he’s doing okay. You really never see it coming when someone has a stroke. I’m so glad he wasn’t alone. I’m so glad he didn’t have a fall without me and mom knowing. The memories of that night and his entire stay in the hospital is still so fresh in my mind that I bawled my eyes out while watching this video as if I’m reliving it again. Please try to cherish your family and loved ones while you still can. ❤
This gives me hope
Thank you for sharing
That was really powerful. You're talented at writing. Hope you and your family have many happy times ahead
I bawled my eyes out watching this video, then even more reading your comment, and then even more reading the end of it thankful that it's turning out well. 😭😭😭
So sorry this happened to you. And glad your dad is doing well.
So sorry this happened, and I'm glad your dad is doing well now. Prayers to you and your family! 💖
Good thing the paramedics were already in the driveway.
This is so educational. Thank you very much for all the work
As a medic, this is a pretty good representation of a stroke patient. The hardest part is dealing with the family when they see a loved one in such a dire situation. We help the doctors by running an IV line, stabilize the paitent, radio in to the hospital prior to arrival so they are prepared. But we aren't doctors. But time is most important when it comes to a stroke.
As a bowler, this is a pretty good representation of a patient stroke. The hardest part of carving a pumpkin is dealing with candy bars listening to the radio. Prior to arrival he found out we aren't doctors but time is most important when it comes to a shovel...🚷
What should one do to help stabilize or help someone when they have a stroke?? Like if we dont know what to do to help other than 911…
Is tPA available on the rig to give if needed. Or is CT/MRI always done first before administering
This is realistic up until the ambulance arrives within 6hrs. No, I'm not being sarcastic.
Question for you because you have the knowledge.
I read that if I have a stroke, I can't smile.
It may be funny and super naive, but on a few occasions in the last few years, I ... checked myself :) when I feel strange, and my heart rate goes up.
If I'm alone and I find that I cannot smile and something bizarre happens to me, what is your advice?
My plan and I think about it, is to try everything to my best to go outside, on the street, as fast as possible with my phone and call emergency services, and if I can't, I hope someone walks at the same time, see me and calls them for me.
It will be good to know your opinion for everyone who lives alone without a chance for someone else to help in the house.
Former stroke nurse here, remember BE FAST. B = balance is off E= eyesight, double vision, blurred vision, or losing peripheral vision. I've seen strokes happen with the mildest of symptoms, such as numbness in someone's heel and nothing else. When in doubt, get checked out
Too bad that in Canada, getting checked out is basically waiting 15+ hours in ER, at which point any early stroke treatment is impossible.
@@justacoolguy1 it's the same in the US if not worse
@@KuteKryptid I wish we'd fund our healthcare appropriately.
@@KuteKryptid And in the U.S. if the stroke doesn't kill you, the medical bills will.
@@KuteKryptid One of the only supposed benefits of an expensive single payer system like US healthcare is that supposedly wait times are shorter except ive never been to an emergency room in the US where I didnt have to wait for hours upon hours upon hours. Im surprised Americans roll over and take it when its comes to our failing healthcare, I thought we were supposed to be rebels and revolutionaries or something?
That was me in 2020! On the phone with my sister who recognized the signs. Thank God she causes I never would be here for my children and grandchildren. God truly is amazing and so is she 🙂🙏🏾
That ambulance crew arrived quickly! Here in UK, the average ambulance response time for a stroke is currently 93 minutes...
93 Minutes? Dide would they not be dead by then? You need to be there in like 5 minutes no?
@KeepingUpWithKayden Yep, it is extremely bad isn't it? The sooner treatment is received for a stroke the higher the chance of recovery. Unfortunately in the UK our NHS healthcare service is in turmoil at the moment and many people are dying because our healthcare service is being neglected by the government. 😔😌😌

Ten years ago, My father had a stroke while he was driving. But the most unbelievable thing was he kept driving until he reached home. As soon he got down from the vehicle, he collapsed on the ground ! We didn’t wait for an ambulance, we rushed and took him to the nearest hospital by our vehicle. also we made sure to keep him awake so we kept talking and calming him down.. He survived and he is doing well now
Damn your dad is unbelievable
Just an advise to anyone who sees this, never drive the stroke patient to the hospital. The paramedics can start life-saving treatments on the way to the ER, it’s worth the wait for an ambulance. Glad your dad made it.
@@MrFizzminecraft yeah I agree always call an ambulance, safer for everyone, but how would the paramedics know if it’s a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke? Can they start TPA regardless? I would imagine if your having a hemorrhagic stroke TPA is the last thing you would want to give but Idk
That's great! My dad did not fair as well. He passed away from a stroke in his sleep. Strokes are the silent killers
@@MrFizzminecraft even if you live like 5-10 minutes from the hospital?
Mom had a pons ischemic.
I knew what it was almost immediately.
It took almost an hour and a half to get her to the hospital.
She's been there over five weeks now on a ventilator.
She got lucky and wasn't impaired mentally, but her left side was hit hard.
She's slowly regaining movement and feeling, she can sit up and will be able to stand after rehab.
She's able to talk again for short periods, and getting better every day.
This is not the end, we won't give up.

I lost my Dad to a heart attack, couple years ago. He was my world. Had someone been with him that afternoon, he would still be here. My deepest sympathy for any of you that also lost family. These vidoes are so important.
Also remember: the worst headache of someone's life, followed by throwing up is another sign. That's how my mom's stroke started before she completely blacked out and died.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the information 🤍
Same. My mum thankfully survived tho I’m so thankful everyday. I’m so sorry for your loss love ❤️
Omg
I hate to say it but I don't think that was a stroke, that was an aneurysm, although when it bursts it does cause a stroke. I'm sorry for your loss :(
That would've likely been an anuerism bursting. It happened to my uncle. My mum had a minor stroke which ended up saving her life because they found the anuerism in her brain before it burst.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
My mother is a stroke survivor. She has completely changed as a person and has lost her speech completely due to this. Awareness regarding stroke is still necessary in our world due to our current lifestyle and food intake. This was very emotional. This felt so real! I hope god gives strength to all the ones fighting with it.

I'm here because I had a stroke about a month ago. I am extremely lucky that it resolved itself quickly but those first 5-10 minutes was hell. I literally walked through the valley of the shadow of death and made it out alive. I was conscious enough though it all to know I was probably having a stroke. I remember thinking I had just a few more minutes to live. While my wife was on the phone with 911, I put my arms around her neck and sobbed. Over the next 48 hours I made a quick recovery in the ICU but I was profoundly sad. Nobody was able to visit me in the hospital because of COVID19. Around midnight that first night my speech was doing much better and I made some good bye videos to my children in case I didn't make it. My youngest is 4 years old. To be here today with virtually no lasting effects is a miracle.
I'm 43 years old.
Wow, that is pretty young, glad you pulled through.
I can just imagine how hard that must of been to make those videos. Praise God your family gets to have you around a bit longer.
god bless you Daniel! did the inject you to dissolve the clot?
In December 2021 I had covid
As of August 2022 I still had covid
In December I started having a sense of collapse as if the body itself about to shut down at any moment.
Worse and worse for 1 month:
Tinnitus got worse than when I was 10 years old.
⚠️ Headache above the skull left and right
⚠️ Sensitive to sound and light
⚠️ confusion, daze
⚠️ Disorder speaking I intertwine words
⚠️ I say meaningless sentences, I give meaningless answers
⚠️ Serious memory drops since December it's getting worse and worse, I didn't remember what I was doing. Day before, now I arrive at noon and I don't remember what I did in the morning.
⚠️ Awkward when doing manual activities, or when I walk.
⚠️ dizziness especially getting up from lying down or changing direction
⚠️When there is picture change on TV,
I see the previous image for a moment as a shadow
⚠️I feel disconnected with my surroundings
⚠️Sleeping legs shots(referred by mom)
⚠️Sleep paralysis episodes(I wake up but for about 7 seconds I'm paralyzed and I can't open my eyes or move any part of my body or even open my mouth)
What is going on?
MRI is negative.
I would like to do the lumbar puncture test
Glad you’re still here today!
Video will scare someone into having a stroke. Geez.
YEAH THAT
This video appears to say that recognising the signs of stroke means panicking and shouting.
Thank you so much for this video. ❤❤❤
I had a mild stroke alone, at home, at the age of 35. It was absolutely terrifying. The only reason I’m alive is because I recognized the signs and stumbled into the common area and yelled for help before I was unable to speak. This PSA is important!
common area?
like apartment lobby?
Typically one would say hallway, but that isn’t the case here. At one time, the unit doors were exposed to the elements. A few years later, they built an exterior wall. So it’s like a common area. I can’t decide if this is a troll question though, given your username lol.
@@Sprinkleycakes so you just meant the hallway
@@imstupidbut Yeah, pretty sure I said it wasn’t a fucking hallway. You’re kind of a dick for trolling someone in a comment where they shared a story about their stroke.
@@imstupidbut who the fuck cares
My dad had way milder symptoms than this, confusion and minor motor impairments. He was dead two days later, strokes are no joke. RIP dad.
God bless you and your family your dads soul. May he rest in peace.
You're right stokes are definitely no joke! My dad had a major one in 2017, and there was no happy ending for him either. It left his left side completely paralyzed and he spent 16 months wasting away in a nursing home because we couldn't take him home. He finally passed away March 11, 2019.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand exactly how you feel.
Sorry for your loss, I know time will help you and your family to heal bit by bit, if it helps now we just discover new ways of feeling his love present in our days and lives, I'm sure he still knows how much you love him even where he is now. Tons of love to you, and your family. If in any moment you think you would like to have a chat with someone free of judgement, I'm a reply away
i am so sorry
Sorry for your loss.

Acting was phenomenal, really made me feel it. So sad. I hope this never happens to me or anyone I love.
Plot twist: It wasn't a stroke. The edibles he took earlier just hit
Lmao 🤣

@WeirdozChannelWhat does bilaterally mean?
I once accidentally had gram of hasj in my pasta at my work brake. One hour later at work i thaught i was having a mental break down. Wen home and thaugh i had a stroke/was dying for a few hours. Then i realized I ate hasj and was fucking high
You need to be on time out🤣🤣🤣
Another tip is do not panic. You are able to help people faster by remaining calm, and it will make the person feel less afraid
Just the tip?
This got more under my skin than every horror/thriller movie I ever watched. That is so authentic, I cannot believe that it is acted; how can one make something so authentic that did not actually happen?
I wonder if they have something like this out there for seizures. Seeing this hits a soft spot being diagnosed with Epilepsy and having to worry about having them in public. Always have been worried someone wouldn't know what to do! I'm glad to see people putting awareness out there for things like this so people can be better educated or at least get some sort of an idea of how to react. Such a terrifying thing to have to go though I'd imagine! Both sides!
damn those paramedics should deliver pizza holy shit that was quick
Lol
Yeah
They came fast because they told them to hurry.
@@jackh7138 it doesn't work that way,its like telling a flight that's mid air to hurry and you magically land in the airport.
I like the part where he says "it's probably nothing." It nicely demonstrates how the person having a stroke really doesn't know that they are having it or might not be aware of it until you tell them.
Thank you for this!
Happened to my grandma who lives with us, within a moment she turned from a completely independent human being on whom we were dependent for help with our chores to basically a kid. It's been 4 years, right side still completely paralyzed cant stand or move without help and can only speak a few basic words.
My great grandmother suffered 4 strokes, the first one being at just the age of 21. She is 90 years old and still alive, healthier than all the rest of the family altogether. Please don't lose hope and keep your heads up even if you or someone you love went through this. It is devastating but it doesn't mean that person won't be able to live through a beautiful life after
Damm you're great grandma is literally built different
There's laughing in the face of the death and then there's your grandma who spat in it.
@@keanux5906 grandma hack the stroke lol
I think I may have had a stroke a few years ago. I’m in my 20s, should I get this verified? (Can it be verified?)
Godspeed 💥
When I was little, I was doing my homework with my brother, and when we went to a different room, I realized that my mom was acting strangely, so I went up to her, and I started panicking. I lived in a country where there were no ambulances, but we lived in a house that had our other relatives in it. I ran downstairs to get my aunt, and I brought her up. I was too young to realize that she had a stroke and saved her life, but I'm grateful that I figured out that something was wrong. This is the first time I have shared this information with anyone. I hope you have a good day or night wherever you are and that you live a happy life. :)

My dad was a cardiac arrest survivor who had a stroke while driving. Thankfully he was already on his way to work (his hospital) so he managed to make it there in time.
My grandma had a stroke recently back in December, about a week before Christmas. I was not there when it happened but one of my aunts had informed my parents and that is how we found out. We went to see her at the hospital as soon as we could. I was so worried about her. The thought of whether she would recover or not taunted me for days. Thankfully now she is ok and is in great hands! My dad and his siblings (aka my aunts and uncles) take turns taking care of her once a week. I love my grandma and I hope she gets to live just a bit longer. She is the only grandparent I have left. Both of my grandparents on my mom's side and my grandpa on my dad's side have passed away, so I want to cherish her as much as possible
this video did such a good job traumatizing me that i doubt i'll ever forget how to recognize the signs of stroke.
I just went through this with my father a year ago so yeah it kind of scared the shit out of me and honestly it was too dramatic and not enough instruction.
I am 💔 cause my husband is brain dead from a massive stroke yesterday and we have to unplug his machines. I love that man so much! 23 years of Marriage and in the blink of an eye......😭😭😭😭😭😭

Good information ❤
I got a stroke when I was 19 and I can totally say that this is 100% accurate. My speech was jittery before having the stroke. When I got the stroke, my jaw dropped and my left side got paralysed. It took me 5-10 mins to get conscious and then I was admitted to the hospital for a few days.
What can cause a stroke in a teenager?
@@Quarequieus Bad diet, lack of excercise and less sleep.
@@devanshrangan I have the first two but lack the last.
Should I restrict my sleep schedule, which is non-existent still?
My mom had a stroke when I was young. Her symptoms were just dizziness and confusion, and I had no idea what was happening. I’m grateful every day that she managed to get to the hospital and is still with us today. I’ll never forget these signs and the importance of acting quickly.
What made you decide to take her to the hospital?
@@lorettagrey7383 It's instinct. I was 17, and we just knew. This was in 1968. Always take them to the hospital, please.
@@orwor the confusion you have during a stroke is a whole new species of bafflement.
It's sudden and very noticeable. Nothing like walking into a room and forgetting why you came. More like walking into a room and having no concept of a room or things to get. Like walking off the cliff of sense and realizing you're standing on nothing.
@@andrewhooper7603 So he just had a normal dizziness and confusion thing?
@@xlasherraiser7497 I’m not the family member but based on my experience the patient may have had issues getting the right words out or saying nonsense, or not knowing who they were or where they were as well as being dizzy, feeling the room spinning around them. This is probably what they meant by confused which is a new difficulty with speech
my dad went thru this too, it was so terrifying considering i was so young back then (i was about 9-10 years old), so the fear of losing my only parent was extremely strong. thank god he survived and i helped him recover by jogging with him every day. he's been thru a lot and he's still going strong at 51 🥰
🙂
You are lucky. My father is smoking cigarettes. I don't know what to do.
@@nonamenoname3839 unfortunately, some people don’t want to change their lifestyle. It’s pretty common. Always remember that it’s not your fault
What dif you do when it happened??Other than calling 911.
@@theragnarok13 thanks for the care. I wish you and your loved ones live a long and fulfilling life.
This breaks my heart. But I’m glad this information is out there
I remember my school used to have those assemblies where you guys would come and tell people about strokes, such a delight to see this on my homepage!
Five years ago I had a similar thing, I was home alone and I noticed that my left arm didn't respond well to my commands. Luckily I quickly realized what it could be and was able to get out and get help. The person I spoke to told me that my mouth was also twisted and so I asked for an ambulance to be called. In 10 minutes the emergency services arrived and took me to the hospital where they discovered that I had a cerebral hemorrhage, fortunately not too big and, after treatment and two weeks in the hospital, I made a total recovery. In cases like these, time is of the essence, even just a few minutes can be fatal
Glad you are still with us ❤
♥
Glad you guys are okay.
What treatment did you end up getting? Did you have to get surgery or something? Stay well!
@@monikae554 Thank you! No surgery, just medicines and 24-hour checkups. Naturally they looked for the cause of everything and discovered that a medicine I was taking to treat atrial fibrillation had made my thyroid "go crazy", raising the rhythm of my heartbeat and blood pressure. After two years of treatments and checks, my thyroid has stabilized, but now I pay close attention to every little symptom because I am still terrified of those moments
My dad had a stroke in 2007. We were having a family day and my mom noticed very quickly that something was wrong. My dad's speech was slurring and he couldn't move one side of his face properly. Knowing it was most likely a stroke, she probably should have called 9-11 right away, but she chose to drive him to the hospital instead. My dad turned 75 this year and is doing well. He never fully recovered movement in his arm, and he walks with a cane most of the time, but he can speak well and is healthy. He takes much better care of himself now. We hope to have him around for many more years.
I have 2 family members who had stroke, my grandpa and mom, both died.
@@alqaeda9841 may they RIP
My dad had a mild stroke and I immediately called emergency services. While the phone operator was assessing him he strongly insisted to us both on my driving him a couple minutes to the local doctors/GP centre to see his regular doctor despite being offered a blue light ambulance... Of course the doctor ran through similar checks and proceeded to call an ambulance, but as we were within a healthcare setting it was then a lower priority for the ambulance than at home. Felt awful having to wait the extra time but when the ambulance came we still transferred to the cardiology/stroke centre of the hospital well within the 3-4 hour window. Hope this helps someone if they also have a stubborn relative (he was afraid of waiting being in a bed in a corridor which was on the news at the time... glad to say it was mild and he is ok. We took it as a warning for him to cut back from working all hours of the day.
God bless
It’s Life That Matters Most, Not Mobility or Speech
Thank you all so much for posting this. Everyone should know the signs and symptoms of strokes so that they can respond quickly. Quick response time saves lives.
Grateful to have 911 a very Quick RESCUE ..
My father is a 3rd time stroke survivor. We have a family history of loved ones passing from multiple strokes on his side from his father to his great grandma. His last episode was in November right before thanksgiving and we spent the holiday with him in the hospital. He never fails to amaze me with how strong he is. This made me so emotional I’m still crying writing this. If anyone is reading this trust your gut instinct if you don’t feel well or if you notice someone is unwell. I spotted a coworker of mine having a heart attack aswell because my mom suffered one years ago. When you know somethings wrong say something and save a life❤
3 times wow, may I ask about his diet? prior to having the strokes?
My mother also. 3 strokes. So realistic
Can you give me some recovery tips and how to prevent from happening again? A few months back my father had a stroke exactly how it's shown in the video, we also missed early signs and didn't know about "Sleep apnea" is a thing and then his body has take a huge hit when it comes to activeness after the stroke. He now have a shoulder pain and he can't lift the left one above the head and also lost some of peripheral vision in the left eye because of the stroke. Right now He is taking blood thinning medications and is also reducing his weight slowly and currently he at 78kgs(Height is 175cms). It would be really helpful if you had any tips.
@@aryant1884 Change his diet (bit by bit if he is new to a healthier lifestyle). An alkaline foods diet helps, try it. I would also say cut meat and fish from his diet. The food industry is killing us not only with the meat, fish, lab made fruits and vegetables but with gluten, and soya etc... These are causing a mucus build up in our gut which is causing all these very serious diseases.
Also, if your parent can't exercise much try to get him to walk. For instance a long walk by the river, a long walk to the park etc... Walking is free! I hope your parent recovers soon! By the way I am not a doctor or anything but my parent also had a few health issues here and there but changing her diet was a game changer for her! A healthy diet does 90% of the work.
@@Nonyah123 it sounds like there's something genetic that's causing it, but diet might also change it. Idk i'm not a medical professional, just some random internet boi
My mom and I both were diagnosed with a rare brain disease. I was diagnosed 10 months after my mom. She kept having TIAs over the course of at least 6 months then finally at 46 had a full blown stroke, ended up in the hospital a month where she had at least two more strokes. It’s been almost 3 years she hasn’t fully recovered but she also needs brain surgery to provide better blood/oxygen flow of the brain.
I just had my first mini stroke a few days after watching this.

This was an example of someone having a stroke around the age of late 40-50’s. But I was recently reminded that this can happen to anyone of any age. That is truly terrifying.
My bosses little brother just had a stroke and they’re only few years apart and both very young… in their 20’s… 😢 I hope the best for them and their family. Xmas is only 5 days away.
What an incredibly well made video this is!
My uncle died of a stroke. It happened while he was home alone and no one found him for hours. He was only 47, and the doctors said he could have been much better off if he'd been found right away. Instead, he ended up on life support for several weeks before passing away. To this day I think having a stroke, or one of my other family members having a stroke, especially while alone, is my greatest fear. I don't think I'll ever get over it. None of us ever got to say goodbye.
Sorry for your loss bro
Wait till your daughter falls off a building. This will seem like nothing. Chin up essey
If you live alone or are alone often, consider getting an emergency bracelet so you can call the hospital immediately with the touch of a button
@@Nonyah123 That's actually a really good idea, thanks :)

@Volintine Ander that's true but the ambulance service is not good like it takes really long time in most cases
Wow this is actually... really well done. To the point where it's kinda terrifying. Please more like this! I never knew thats what a stroke could be like.
Great video, everyone needs to see this a know the signs.

"You're looking at a full recovery.. bill will be 20 thousand dollars"

This was so real looking. My grandpa when I was about 12 Years old and the look was similar to this. My grandpa isn't any longer with us, but life is short, stay, and keep healthy and always talk to your loved ones. You never know when your last breath will be.
Great topic, and very educational! This is a scary situation, but the quicker you get professional medical care, the better your chances for recovery! Thank you!! 🙂👍
Please don’t react like this when someone is having a stroke. You’ll make things worse.
I’m glad someone already mentioned this
Really though
But why?
Someone whos having a stroke would not be able to comprehend anyone's reactions
@@lukaslambers5316 The person who is having a stroke can become very confused and scared and freaking out in front of them will only make them more scared. It's good to tell the person (in a calm manner) that they may be having a stroke and that help is on its way.
This immediately brought me to tears when it started. It was so real. It brought back memories of the numerous times my dad had a TIA when I lived with him as his caregiver. I had that same fear in my voice every time. It is so frightening to see your loved one like this.😢 Gratefully, my dad never had a full blown stroke. But each TIA did seem to weaken him a bit.
@orwor transient ischemic attack or mini stroke
@orwor It is the abbreviation for transient ischemic attack. Sometimes called a "mini stroke". They last just 5 minutes or so and don’t do any permanent damage. It is scary when they start because you don’t know at first if it is a TIA or a real stroke.
