Picture this: You’re at home, enjoying your favorite leisure-time activity without a care in the world. Without warning, your arm goes numb and your drink slips out of your hand. You try to stand, but dizziness drops you back to the sofa. You try to speak, but the words don’t flow like they normally do.
In the confusion, you wonder, “Should I take a nap and hope I feel better in an hour?” Or, you worry, “I don’t want to call 911 if it’s not an emergency.”
