Stroke signs and symptoms
Recognizing the symptoms of a stroke is one of the best ways to stay ahead of the health of you and your loved ones. There are many symptoms of stroke that patients should be aware of. One way to remember the most common symptoms is to BE FAST:

- F – Face drooping. Ask the person to smile. Is one side of their face numb or drooping?
- A – Arm weakness. Ask the person to raise both arms to the same level. Does one arm drift downward? Is one arm weak or numb?
- S – Speech difficulty. Ask the person to say a sentence. Are they struggling to speak normally?
- T – Time to call 911. If the person is experiencing ANY of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
