Answer: Signs and symptoms include lightheadedness, pain, pressure, or squeezing across the middle or center of chest, pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach, shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, weakness, and extreme fatigue. Treatment from a by-stander includes first, calling 9-1-1, next, try to give the person an aspirin or nitroglycerin pill. If the person is unconscious, begin hands-only CPR until professional help arrives.

Answer: A person having a stroke may suddenly feel weak, numb, or paralyzed in the arm, leg, or face, especially on one side of the body. He or she may stumble and have other difficulty walking. Vision may become blurry, or the person may start seeing double. Slurred speech is a common sign, as is an inability to find the right words or to repeat a simple sentence. A sudden and severe headache is also common, and may be accompanied by dizziness or vomiting. Consciousness may be altered, and the person may suddenly seem confused or experience delusions. Treatment from a by-stander includes first, call 9-1-1, next make note of the time you first noticed the symptoms, and do not give CPR unless the person is unconscious and has no pulse.
