Seek Immediate Medical Attention
A person who experiences any of the symptoms of a stroke must seek immediate medical attention, even if the symptoms are temporary. Doctors advise people to think "FAST," an acronym for face, arms, speech and time.
In case a person suspects that someone may be having a stroke, they should ask the person to smile, raise both arms and repeat a simple phrase. Inability to perform one or more of these tasks is indicative of a stroke, and immediate medical attention should be sought.
