Dad found out water 'coming out of one side of his mouth' was serious condition

A dad has told how he started slurring his words and "water coming out of my mouth, out one side" turned out to be an extremely serious condition that led him to spend the next five months in hospital.

Phil Woodford, from Preston, was rushed to hospital after feeling unwell and he was diagnosed with a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) - also known as a mini-stroke.

He told paramedics how "water was coming out my mouth, out one side" and that he was slurring his words as well as having a sensation like a torch was being shone in his eye, reported the Liverpool Echo.
