signs of a stroke

You can go by the acronym FAST

FACE – does the person's face droop? Ask them to smile.

ARMS – Ask the person to raise both arms. Does either one drift downward?

SPEECH – Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence (My name is _____). Does the person repeat it correctly and do they slur it?

TIME – Time is important. Call the ambulance.

Signs of a heart attack

Pressure/pain in the center of the chest lasting a while

Nausea, lightheadedness, anxiety, cold sweaty skin

Irregular heart rate

Numbness/pain in the left arm


Unfortunately, signs of a heart attack could be many different things. Pain in the chest could just be an anxiety attack. Regardless, if any of these symptoms are too much to bear and lasts for a while, call the doctor.

Could be a signal of carpal tunnel. No one here can solidly and accurately answer - she needs a doctor for that. Hope she gets there sooner, not later.

Stroke is when verssels in the brain become blocked and parts of the brain become deprived of oxygen and blood. A heart attack is usually when the cornanary artery in the heart becomes blocked and blood and oxygen supply gets reduced. Both are medical emergencies that must be must not be left ignored because they can lead to permant heart and brain damage.

Does she have chest pain and shortness of breathe? If she is and also getting weakness in her finers and arm then it is likely a heart attack.
Does she get any of what ISneezeFunny said? Then most likely it's a stroke. Please tell her to not ignore it and go to the hospital asap when it happens!!
