What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, preventing it from receiving the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Every minute care is delayed causes an increase in damage to your brain.
Know the Signs: BE FAST
Strokes strike suddenly. Recognizing the symptoms early can save a life. BE FAST is an easy way to remember the warning signs.
- Balance – Sudden loss of balance, unexplained dizziness or unsteadiness
- Eyes – Sudden vision changes, especially in one eye
- Face – One side of the face may droop when trying to smile
- Arms – Weakness in an arm or leg on one side of the body
- Speech – Trouble speaking or understanding speech
- Time – Call 911 immediately. Every second lost is time the brain can’t afford.
