Not everyone gets all of these warning signs. Sometimes, these signs can go away and return.

• Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

• Sudden confusion, or trouble speaking or understanding speech.

• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination.

• Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

• Blurred or double vision, drowsiness, and nausea or vomiting.

Every minute counts, even if the symptoms seem to disappear! Treatments are most effective if given within one hour of when the stroke begins. If you have these signs, call 911 right away!
