Can anyone tell me a good place to look up signs and symptoms of Stroke or what causes it? I went home for lunch today and something is wrong with my mom. She has been in poor health since I was a kid, but this is different. She has been acting much worse the last month or so than usual.

She has Afib, which means her heart beats too fast. She says it wears her out like she has ran a marathon and she gets tired and just stays in her chair all day. But lately she is getting worse. She used to always love doing the dishes because it made her arthritis in her hands feel better but now she is letting them go. She doesn't work and when I get home the house is a mess and she wants me to wait on her. She had to go to a doc appt today to get a rig, which she does yearly, to monitor her heart. She told me at lunch that she woke up so exhausted she had trouble even taking a shower. Then after that the conversation was muddled and she seemed upset. She said her brain felt all wrong and she couldn't think of words. She has done this before but this time she looked bad too.

I remember her heart doctor telling me that her condition can lead to stroke if not handled properly, that's why she has blood work and monitoring regularly, and takes so much medication. I wonder if she is forgetting to take it?
