If i can calm someone and give bp pill to someone i think might be having a stroke, can they go to er by car>?

No: You never know what might happen minute to minute. They could pass out, seize, stop breathing, have an abnormal heart rhythm, or have a heart attack. Call 911 and go by ambulance.

Not a good idea: Stroke is an acute medical emergency with the potential for permanent disability. Some patients are eligible for treatment with clot-disolving agents that can minimize the impact. The most common reason why patients don't get this treatment is undue delay in reaching the emergency department. Do not delay, do not go by car, call 911. And immediately lowering BP can be dangerous in stroke.

Stroke: Most strokes coincide with high blood pressure but we should not lowered too quick too fast. As long as the pt arrives to the emergency room in less than 4.5 hours is ok so the drs in the er may give something to dissolve the clot causing the stroke. If we give Aspirin we might worsen an intracraneal bleeding. If we lower the pressure the strokes gets worst. It's better to call 911 and just wait.

No: If a stroke is suspected call 911. The person is always seen quicker that way as strict protocols are in place. High blood pressure is not the only cause of stroke and i would not recommend giving anymore than the usual daily dose. Call 911 better safe than sorry.

Stroke treatment: If you think a person is having a stroke, you should call 9-1-1. They should be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The hospital staff will take care of medical treatments. You should not give them blood pressure medicine because you do not want their blood pressure to lower inappropriately. This may cause their stroke symptoms to worsen.
