Stroke Warning Signs
A stroke takes place almost every 40 seconds and can be devastating. However, the earlier you can detect a stroke, the greater the chance for a positive recovery. That's why it's important for you to learn the signs of a stroke, so you can prevent permanent damage and save a life.
Stroke warning signs include:
- Confusion or trouble understanding people
- Dizziness
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Severe headaches
- Sudden numbness or weakness in face, arm, or leg (especially on one side)
- Trouble speaking
- Trouble seeing (with one or both eyes)
If you or a loved one shows signs of any of these stroke symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Every minute counts.
