Signs & Symptoms of Stroke - FAST

The best way to treat a stroke is for people to learn what to recognize using FAST:

F —facial numbness or weakness, especially on one side.
A —arm numbness or weakness, especially on one side.
S —slurred speech or difficulty speaking.
T —time to call 911.

Other symptoms of stroke also may include: severe headache, dizziness, loss of balance, loss of vision or double vision. Surprisingly, pain is not a frequent symptom of stroke.
