A Stroke has a new indicator

Having experienced a mild stroke a few months ago, I can endorse the need to get medical attention ASAP. I didn't realize I was having a stroke, so didn't get help immediately. I was lucky it wasn't severe.

I still have some weakness on my right side, and my speech is slurred. According to the doctor, if I had immediately taken several aspirin and sought medical attention, I probably would not have any remaining effects.

I had been ignoring marginally high blood pressure, but you can bet I'm not doing that any more.
