Experiencing any one of the above symptoms can be a sign of a stroke. Even if the symptoms subside or go away you should seek medical help immediately. Time is essential when dealing with a stroke or a person experiencing stroke-like symptoms. FRH and the American Heart Association encourage people to learn the sign of a stroke, which can happen suddenly. Not every person has all of the symptoms but you should take action immediately.
FRH has free brochures, hand-outs and information in the front lobby for people interested in learning more or people who have experienced or have loved ones who have experienced a stroke.
