Know These Warning Signs of a Stroke
Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death and the leading cause of
serious, longterm disability in the U.S.
The moments after a stroke or “brain attack” strikes could be the most important of your life. You only have a short window of time to get treatment from skilled experts before deadly or debilitating effects occur.
Every second counts – because time lost is brain lost:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
