Warning Signs of Stroke
Stroke Awareness
GET TO KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS OF STROKE
From the American Heart Association:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
Not all these warning signs occur in every attack. If some start to occur, don't wait. Call 9-1-1 to get medical help immediately!
From the American Stroke Association:
Three simple questions to ask if you think someone may be having a stroke:
Ask the individual to SMILE.
Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently).
If the person has difficulty with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
