I'm posting this infographic about stroke symptoms because the issue arose in my own life this last week. One of the other security guards had a stroke at work last week (not during one of my shifts, for which I'm grateful) and has been in hospital since then. Treatment and application of the new "stroke-buster" drugs have brought about considerable improvement, but he'll be in rehab for a considerable while yet.
Pretty alarming. Even more alarming because the guy is only 42. (My own son turns 40 this year. Whoa-a-a....)If you ever start having these symptoms, don't try to "tough it out" or ignore what's happening. The more quickly the "stroke-busters" are administered, the more damage they can prevent. Quick treatment can make the difference between returning to normal life, ending up in a wheelchair, or death.
