Stroke — Learn to BE FAST

If you think someone near you is having a stroke, every second counts. Know the warning signs, identify stroke and CALL 9-1-1 immediately.

Use the acronym BE FAST to quickly identify possible strokes:

B – BALANCE: Is there a loss of balance or coordination?

E – EYES: Is there blurred or double vision or a sudden loss of vision?

F – FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A – ARMS: Ask the person to hold up both arms. Does one drift downward?

S – SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “Do you know what time it is?” Are the words slurred? Does the person repeat the phrase correctly?

T – TIME: If the person shows any of these symptoms, time is important. Call 9-1-1 immediately.

Heart Attack Symptoms

It’s important to know the signs and symptoms of a possible heart attack:

  • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing or pain.
  • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
  • Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomforts.
  • Other signs: These may include sudden cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
