Signs of a stroke can be different for different people. The F-A-S-T test is an easy way to remember them:
- Face: Smile. Does one side of your face sag?
- Arms: Raise both and see if one droops.
- Speech: Say a common phrase: Does it sound strange or slurred?
- Time: Call 9-1-1 right away if you notice any of these symptoms. Note what time they started.
