Brain cells begin to die in minutes. A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications. Signs and symptoms of stroke include: • Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying • Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg • Problems seeing in one or both eyes- You may suddenly have blurred or blackened vision in one or both eyes, or you may see double. • Headache- A sudden, severe headache, which may be accompanied by vomiting, dizziness or altered consciousness, may indicate that you're having a stroke. • Trouble walking- You may stumble or lose your balance.
