Check for signs of a stroke

The main symptoms of a stroke can happen suddenly. They may include:

  • face weakness – one side of your face may droop (fall) and it might be hard to smile
  • arm weakness – you may not be able to fully lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm
  • speech problems – you may slur your words or sound confused

The easiest way to remember these symptoms is the word FAST. This stands for: face, arms, speech and time to call 999.
