When a stroke strikes, it attacks up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute so acting quickly is crucial and it starts with knowing the F.A.S.T signs.
If you suspect someone is having a stroke, think F.A.S.T. and ask these questions:
🤔 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.
