A stroke is always a medical emergency. The longer a stroke remains untreated, the greater the chance of stroke-related brain damage.
How do you know if someone is having a stroke? Think… F.A.S.T.
Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
Arms Can they lift both arms?
Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.
