You think your loved one may be having a stroke. What do you do? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Strokes can be extremely scary to witness, but it is important to stay calm and remember the word FAST-FACE, ARMS, SMILE, and TIME. Look at the persons face. Can they smile? If half of their face is unable to move and looks droopy, they may be having a stroke. Next, ask the person if they can lift their arms. One of their arms may not be able to move properly. Check their speech, is it slurred? Time is important when it comes to a stroke. Call 911 immediately if you suspect someone is having one. The faster you get help, the better off they will be. Remember to stay calm and know that you have done everything you can to help that person.
