Minor strokes - take aspirin immediately

Asprin and Paracetamol should be kept in the First Aid kit or the store cupboard. But Asprin is a blood thinner and works well for stroke patients. I recommend you keep them. They can help thin the blood when there is sign of a stroke, however major or minor. Of course, you MUST call for an ambulance but you can take the Asprin while you are waiting for the emergency services to arrive on the scene. I cannot stress enough how quickly you must call 999!!!! Oxford University have done the research which was published in the journal, The Lancet but this has been common knowledge among those who understand stroke for a while now.
