Is this a stoke??

[A POSSIBLE STROKE] From 2pm today.. Male 38, 110kg 173cm, is a daily drinker and sometimes smoker. Woke up today with the feeling of virtigo. Right eye has drooped, blurred vision. The past 2 hours feeling of sleepiness, saying things out of subject. Can move all parts of body and face. HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS IS FROM A STROKE THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE NIGHT, AND THIS IS AFTER EFFECT. AND NOT A STROKE HAPPENING INFRONT OF MY EYES?

Not a stoke but very likely a stroke. Please go to the emergency room immediately. Seriously NOW.

Yes. Yes. I'm going to call an ambulance. I've called his parents, he spoke too, they also know. But for some ungodly reason, they haven't dragged his ass there. Like I would be for my kids. This was hours ago,.. he's seemed to convince them hell be ok, and go tomorrow. πŸ˜–πŸ˜–

How do I know if he had the stroke? And this is after effect. Or is this the happening of one?
