Check if they are breathing and responsive.

If they become unconscious, place them in the recovery position (on their side).

If they are not breathing, begin CPR and call for help if you haven’t already.

5. Note the Time Symptoms Started

This is vital for doctors, because certain stroke treatments must be given within a few hours of symptom onset.

What Not to Do:

Don’t let them go to sleep.

Don’t give them anything by mouth (water, food, meds).

Don’t drive them to the hospital unless absolutely necessary—ambulance care is faster and better equipped.

Remember:

“Time is brain.” The sooner a stroke is treated, the better the chances of survival and recovery.
