The warning signs of a stroke can be remembered with the acronym FAST: facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call 911. Stroke may occur suddenly and the results can be devastating. It is critical to call 911 immediately, so blood flow can be restored to the brain as quickly as possible. Other symptoms of stroke that may occur include severe headache, confusion, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, numbness, trouble speaking or walking, vision changes, and weakness.
