10 Signs of a Stroke

Stroke Sign #4: Loss of Coordination
Balancing is a very complex process that requires a lot of constant work from the brain. We take it for granted, but even standing up straight is a complex procedure with hundreds of muscles constantly making adjustments. In the case of a stroke, even standing up straight can be all but impossible.
If somebody has fallen over for no particular reason, watch them closely to see how their coordination is. They could also have difficulty in holding objects without dropping them. If it appears as though it wasn’t just a genuine trip and they have lost coordination, call an ambulance.
