It creates panic because its symptoms are such; which, when you see, you will also get panicked. And, those symptoms are, those ones; about whom, I was talking, above in teaser of article; they are-

  1. Patient's face is dropped to one side, when attack of stroke comes and sometimes mouth is also dropped to one side. Dropping of face or mouth or eye in such a manner, tilted to one side; definitely creates panic in any one's mind, especially, when you have seen a that patient with normal face, mouth or eye position, few minutes before.
  2. Second panic creating symptom, is paralysis either of one side of body or half of one side of body; which few second ago, was seeming absolutely normal, to a viewer.
  3. Third symptom is that which has its root in 1st symptom and that is, difficulty in speaking or slurred speech because of dropping of mouth to one side because of paralysis. There is difficulty in swallowing food, along with difficulty in speaking, also. Because, whatever patient try to eat, get leaked out from corner of mouth; tilted to one side. So, no approach is successful, in swallowing food because of tilting of one corner of mouth, to one side because of paralysis.
  4. There is not only dropping of face or mouth; but, there is dropping of arm of one side of living human body that means patient is not able to lift arm of one side. Sometimes, this happens to arm of one side and sometimes, to arm of both sides.
