Know the 5 Signs of a Stroke
May is Stroke Awareness Month
According to the American Stroke Association a stroke is the third leading cause of death for all Americans. This statistic may be reduced if everyone knows the five stroke symptoms
The American Stroke Association has developed an easy method for remembering all five stroke symptoms
Walk (Is their balance off?)
Talk (Is their speech slurred or face droopy?)
Reach (Is one side weaker than the other?)
See (Is their vision all or partly lost?)
Feel (Is their headache severe?)
All stroke symptoms are SUDDEN
Do not ignore symptoms even if they go away Call 911 and get to the emergency room fast.
