How to identify a heart attack?

So how do you identify a stroke?
At times, it can be quite hard to identify the symptoms of stroke. Unfortunately, this may lead to brain injury and death.
Today, neurologists recommend 4 simple steps to identify if a person is having a stroke:
1. Ask the person to smile.
2. Ask them to say a simple sentence and repeat it a few times.
3. Ask them to raise their arms above their head.
4. Ask them to stick out their tongue. If the tongue is crooked, meaning leaning to the right or left, that is a clear indication of stroke.
If the person has trouble doing ANY of these, call the emergency number right away and describe the symptoms so they send an ambulance.
