I like to publish these lists because I think it is important that everyone be aware. So here are the five warning signs of a stroke:

Your speech has become slurred or you’re having trouble speaking or understanding what others are saying.

You experience sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body.

You suddenly lose vision in one eye or both eyes.

You have a severe and sudden headache.

You lose your balance, becoming unstable.

If you have nay of these symptoms, even if they go away after a few minutes, call 911 immediately. Ask to be taken to a stroke center nearby. The sooner you get treatment, the better your chances are of preventing permanent damage.
