Aibu to worry if my dad has had a stroke?

Currently on holiday and got a call from my sister saying she thinks my dad is having a stroke.

She's saying he seems confused. She's called for an ambulance. They said it's best for him to get checked out due to the confusion and history (heart patient, diabetic etc).

Could he have had a stroke? No slurred speech. His face hasn't fallen to one side and he has an issue with one of his arms so cannot really judge based on that.

He's type 2 diabetic and has only had one meal today ...

I'm worried sick and being in another country isn't helping.

What were the signs when your loved one had a stroke?

Thanks in advance.

So sorry to hear this. Hate to say it but my dm had no facial droop or slurred speach so paramedics initially said it wasn’t a stroke but it was. Get him checked asap thoroughly as time is key should it be a stroke. Awful for you all
