Stroke Warning Signs, Remember FAST! 🚨
Stroke is a serious condition that can suddenly threaten your life. However, if you respond quickly in the early stages, recovery is possible. The key is receiving treatment within the “golden time”!
Let’s learn how to easily remember the warning signs of a stroke with FAST!
✅ FAST: How to Check for Stroke Warning Signs
✔ F (Face) Face Drooping – If one side of your face suddenly droops or you notice facial asymmetry when smiling, be cautious.
✔ A (Arm) Arm Weakness – If one arm feels weak, numb, or hard to lift, it could be a sign of a stroke.
✔ S (Speech) Slurred Speech – If speech becomes slurred or words become difficult to pronounce, immediate action is needed.
✔ T (Time) Seek Help Immediately – Stroke is a race against time! If symptoms appear, call 119 right away.
⚠ Other Symptoms to Watch Out for:
🔸 Sudden Vision Loss – If one or both eyes suddenly lose vision or become blurry.
🔸 Unexplained Severe Headache – A sudden intense headache accompanied by dizziness and vomiting.
🔸 Balance Issues – If you feel suddenly dizzy or have trouble controlling your movements.
🔸 Temporary Paralysis (TIA, Mini-Stroke) – Even if symptoms disappear quickly, never ignore them!
✅ Health Tips to Prevent Stroke
✔ Control High Blood Pressure – High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke! Follow a low-salt diet, exercise, and manage stress.
✔ Maintain a Healthy Diet – Eat vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats (like nuts and olive oil) to protect your blood vessels.
✔ Exercise Regularly – Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve blood circulation!
✔ Control Blood Sugar & Cholesterol – Diabetes and high cholesterol significantly increase the risk of stroke.
✔ Check for Sleep Apnea – If you have severe snoring or breathing pauses during sleep, get tested.
🛑 Stroke is a race against 'golden time'!
If you notice any stroke warning signs, don’t wait—go to the hospital immediately! Fast action can save lives.
