You and your family should recognize the warning signs of stroke. You may have some or all of these signs. Note the time symptoms started and call 911 or the emergency medical number in your area. Stroke is a medical emergency. Don't ignore these warning signs even if they go away.
Timing is very important.
An emergency medical doctor must treat you within three hours of the onset of symptoms. Before you need to take emergency action, find out where the emergency entrance is to your nearest hospital. Also keep a list of emergency phone numbers next to your phone and with you at all times just in case.
