Symptom #10: Loss of Consciousness
An unexplained loss of consciousness is never a good sign. If somebody has fallen unconscious for no good reason then you should waste no time at all in getting them to the nearest emergency room, or calling an ambulance. It can be a sign of numerous very serious problems, including a stroke.
Likewise, if somebody faints for no apparent reason then there could be something very wrong, even if they do come around again quickly. Some patients might even go into convulsions and this should definitely be treated as an emergency. Remember that acting quickly and decisively could literally help save a life.
