Did you know that stroke is the No. 5 cause of death — and a leading cause of disability — in the United States?

Here’s the good news: By learning and sharing the F.A.S.T. warning signs of stroke, you can make the difference between a strong recovery and disability, or even death:

F
Face Drooping
Does one side of the face droop or is it numb?
Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?
A
Arm Weakness
Is one arm weak or numb?
Ask the person to raise both arms.
Does one arm drift downward?
S
Speech Difficulty
Is speech slurred?
Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand?
Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like
“The sky is blue”.
T
Time to Call 911
If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.
Think F.A.S.T. and you just might save the life of a loved one from stroke.
