Recognising a STROKE
Neurologist say that if they can treat a stroke victim within 3 hours, the effects of a stroke can be reversed - often totally. Neurologists say that the trick is to get a stroke recognised/diagnosed and then get the patient medically cared for within 3 hours.
Act FAST
If you suspect that someone is having a stroke act FAST
With over 150,000 people in the UK having a stroke every year, it is imperative that people can recognise a stroke when it's happening and take prompt action.
FAST requires an assessment of three specific symptoms of stroke:
Facial weakness - can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
Arm weakness - can the person raise both arms?
Speech problems - can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
Time to call 999.
If the person has failed any one of these tests, you must call 999. Stroke is a medical emergency and by calling 999 you can help someone reach hospital quickly and receive the early treatment they need.
