Loss of balance or coordination accompanied by arm weakness are signs of a stroke. Every four minutes, another person dies of a stroke, warns Michael F. Stiefel, MD, Ph.D., Neurosurgeon, AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Neurosciences Institute. Other warning signs include numbness, vision problems, dizziness or severe headache.
The American Stroke Association recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. The F.A.S.T. test is actually an acronym that stands for Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties and Time to call emergency services.
So, you better think F.A.S.T. because a stroke is always a medical emergency and act FAST because, when left untreated, a stroke can leave behind permanent stroke-related brain damage.
