How to Recognize Stroke Symtoms FAST

Face Drooping:

     Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop or is it

     numb?

Arm Weakness:

     Ask the person to raise both arms. Is one arm weak or numb? Does one arm drift

     downward?

Speech Difficulty:

     Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence

     repeated correctly? Are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand?

Time to Call 911:

     If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call

     911 immediately!
