Learn the signs of a Stroke

Stroke is one of the most common causes of severe and long-term disability in America, if the stroke victim receives immediate medical attention. To avoid delay, learn the signs of stroke and remember to act quickly, noting the time the stroke began and calling 911.

The classic signs of a stroke are easy to recognize. Remember “FAST”:

• F— Face drooping. This usually involves one side of the face. Is their mouth uneven when you ask them to smile?
• A— Arm weakness on one side. Sudden weakness, clumsiness or inability to move an arm, leg, or hand are signs of a stroke.
• S— Slurred speech or a sudden difficulty speaking.
• T— Time is critical! Call 911, even if the symptoms go away.
