Hi
Stroke is accompanied by weakness of any limb or face or any part of the body. Patient is unable to move that weak part. Sometimes there's a transient attack of blindness.
Your client seems disoriented & she must be assessed neurologically. It doesn't look like a stroke.
Thank you for contacting HCM.
