Hello, I'm a healthcare professional with experience in advising on medical conditions. When it comes to stroke, it's crucial to be aware of the early warning signs because timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes.

Early warning signs of a stroke include:


1. Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

2. Confusion, trouble understanding, or sudden severe headache with no known cause.

3. Trouble seeing in one or both eyes, including sudden blindness.
4. **Difficulty speaking or understanding speech**.

5. Dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination.

6. Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

These signs are often remembered by the acronym FAST:

- Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
- Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
- Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Is their speech slurred or strange?
- Time: If you observe any of these signs, call emergency services immediately.

It's important to act quickly because the sooner a stroke is treated, the less damage is likely to occur. Remember, when in doubt, call for medical help.
