How to Identify a Stroke with Act F.A.S.T.

Learning the warning signs of stroke is crucial and could just save a life. If you think someone around you may be having a stroke, act F-A-S-T or FAST and do this mini test. Face – ask the person to smile and note of one side of their face drupes. Arms -- ask the person to raise both arms and see if either arm drifts downward. Speech – ask the person to repeat to it sense and listen carefully to their words. Are they slurred? Are they correct? Time – any of these symptoms are a sign of stroke. Get the person to a hospital quickly. The longer that treatment is withheld, the more brain cells will die. Knowing the symptoms of stroke is a positive step you can take to avoid a severe damage or death that can result from the condition.
