I'm curious what could happen when someone is experiencing a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
F.A.S.T.: The most common stroke symptoms are remembered by using fast: f- face. Does one side droop when smiling? A-arms. If the person lifts the arms does one drift down? S- speech. As the person talks us the speech strangled or slurred? If any of these are present, the t is for time. Call 9-1-1 immediately. The quicker someone receives medical care the more options are available.
