Updated: Sep 11
B - Balance: Look for a sudden loss of balance, dizziness, or trouble walking.
E - Eyes: Check for sudden vision changes, such as double vision, blurred vision, or loss of sight in one or both eyes.
F - Face: Ask the person to smile. Look to see if one side of the face droops or feels numb.
A - Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Check if one arm drifts downward or feels weak or numb.
S - Speech: Listen for slurred speech or difficulty talking. Ask them to repeat a simple phrase to see if they struggle.
T - Time to call 911: If someone shows even one of these symptoms, do not wait. Note the time the symptoms first appeared and call emergency services right away. Do not attempt to drive to the hospital yourself. Source: American Stroke Association
