Think a “mini‑stroke” can wait? It can’t.

A TIA (mini‑stroke) is a serious warning sign — not a minor event. Whether symptoms last minutes or hours, the signs of stroke and TIA are often the same. Acting quickly can save brain function and lives.

Remember to B.E.F.A.S.T.

🧠 Balance: Is the person experiencing a sudden loss of balance or coordination?
🧠 Eyes: Is the person having a sudden change in vision or trouble seeing?
🧠 Face drooping: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
🧠 Arm weakness: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
🧠 Speech difficulty: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
🧠 Time: If you observe any of these signs, call 911 right away.
