If you notice any signs or symptoms of a stroke, even if they seem to come and go or they disappear completely. Be "FAST" and do the following:

Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is his or her speech slurred or strange?

Time: If you observe any of these signs, seek emergency medical help immediately.
