Remember FAST
FAST is an easy way to remember the main stroke warning signs:
F — Face: Is one side of the face drooping?
A — Arms: Can the person raise both arms equally?
S — Speech: Is speech slurred or hard to understand?
T — Time: Call emergency services immediately.
Some health campaigns also use B.E. FAST, adding:
B — Balance: sudden loss of balance
