World Stroke Day: Know the Warning Signs 🧠

October 29 is World Stroke Day, a reminder of the importance of recognizing the warning signs of a stroke and knowing when to act.

A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or a blood vessel in the brain ruptures. Recognizing the warning signs can help you act quickly for yourself or someone you love.

When it comes to recognizing a stroke, remember B.E.F.A.S.T.

Watch for:

🔹 B — BALANCE: Sudden loss of balance or coordination

🔹 E — EYES: Sudden blurred vision, double vision or vision loss

🔹 F — FACE: Drooping or numbness on one side of the face

🔹 A — ARMS: Sudden weakness or numbness in one arm

🔹 S — SPEECH: Slurred speech or difficulty speaking

🔹 T — TIME: Call 911 immediately

A person does not need to experience every warning sign. Even if symptoms disappear, a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) may have occurred, and emergency medical evaluation is still necessary.

If you suspect a stroke, call 911 immediately.

B.E.F.A.S.T. warning signs based on American Stroke Association guidance.
