When Stroke Strikes, No Time to Waste
The signs of stroke
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech.
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.
Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
If you think someone may be having a stroke, act F.A.S.T. and do the following test:
F—Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A—Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S—Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?
T—Time: If you see any of these signs, call ambulance right away.
Note the time when any symptoms first appear. This information helps health care providers determine the best treatment for each person.
Once you or someone has had a stroke, it is important to actively start standard stroke rehabilitation therapy as early as possible. Recovery is a long process and all effective measures can be used at different times to improve the damaged brain and limb functions, effectively prevent complications, reduce recurrence, disability and mortality rates, and improve the quality of patients’ life.
