Taryn Lindquist, nurse practitioner at Upstate's Comprehensive Stroke Center, gets ready for her interview with Julia LeBlanc from News Channel 9 March 5. Lindquist discussed the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for stroke. Lindquist said a sudden inability to do anything—walk, talk, stand—could be a sign of stroke. Other signs include: sudden weakness on one side of the body, sudden confusion or trouble seeing, sudden loss of balance, a severe headache with no known cause.
