Stroke - Early Signs And Symptoms
The sooner you get help,
the less likely you'll have serious, lasting problems. And the better your
chance of recovery.
Sometimes a stroke
develops gradually. But you're more likely to have one or more sudden warning
signs like these:
* Numbness or weakness
in your face, arm, or leg, especially on one side
* Confusion or trouble understanding other people
* Trouble speaking
* Trouble
seeing with one or both eyes
* Trouble walking or staying balanced or coordinated
* Severe headache
that comes on for no reason
The FAST test is a quick
way to check someone for symptoms.
Face: Smile!
(Does one side of their face droop?)
Arms: Raise
both arms. (Is one higher than the other? Do they have a hard time holding one
up?)
Speech:
Repeat a short, simple sentence, like "Mary had a little lamb." (Do
they slur their words? Is it hard to understand them?)
Time: If any
of these are "yes," call 911.
What to Do
A stroke
is a medical emergency.
Don't wait! Every minute
counts. If you have even one symptom for more than a few minutes:
Call 911. An ambulance can
get you to a hospital without delay. Don't drive yourself.
Note the time when
symptoms started. (The hospital staff needs to know.)
What if you're with
someone who's having symptoms, but you're not sure if it's a stroke? Some
people may deny there's a problem. They don't want others to make a fuss. Or
they might say, "What's the big rush?"
Consider this: What's the
worst thing that can happen if this isn't a stroke? An unnecessary trip to the
hospital. What's the worst thing that can happen if it is a stroke and you
ignore it?
Don't take chances. Call
911.
Be Prepared
Few people think a stroke
will happen to them. But given how fast damage can happen, it's something you
should think about -- especially if you have a medical condition that raises
your risk for having one. Advance planning may end up making a big difference.
Ask your doctor or nurse
which hospitals in your area are primary stroke centers, with 24-hour emergency
care. You may be able to find stroke care centers online, too.
Find out which hospital or
medical facility is closest to your home or work. Check with your human
resources department or your doctor.
Signs that you may be
having a stroke:
* Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg,
especially on one side of the body.
* Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
* Sudden trouble seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes.
* Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or
coordination.
