Speech problems suddenly occur during a fictional conversation. A second case describes severe new chest pain.
The three key points remain readable without motion. Physical techniques require practical instruction.
Chest pain can be time-critical
New severe pressure or pain in the chest, shortness of breath, cold sweat or marked weakness can indicate a serious emergency. Call 112 and do not let the person drive themselves. Support a comfortable position and avoid exertion. Not every heart attack has the same symptoms.
Key point: If suspected, get help quickly rather than diagnosing it yourself.
Recognise sudden deficits
Sudden speech problems, a drooping corner of the mouth, or weakness of an arm or one side of the body can be signs of stroke. Call 112 immediately, even if symptoms improve again. Such clues help recognition; the absence of any one sign does not reliably rule out a stroke. No food or drink if swallowing problems are possible.
Key point: Improvement is no reason to cancel the emergency call.
Report observations and timing
Report what you noticed, when symptoms began or when the person was last without abnormalities. Do not present a diagnosis as certain. Stay with the person. If there is no response, check breathing as in EH03; if normal breathing is absent, start resuscitation immediately. Do not determine medication doses from a general online course.
Key point: Timing and observed changes are important information.
Decide and check for yourself.
