According to the American Stroke Association, a stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. On average, 1.9 million brain cells die every minute a stroke goes untreated. A stroke can happen to anyone at any age and at any time, which is why knowing the warning signs is so important, Dr. Aizaz R. Hundal, a neurologist at Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, said.
The American Stroke Association has developed the F.A.S.T. warning signs to identify signs someone might be having a stroke:Is the person experiencing suddenly blurred or double vision or a sudden loss of vision?Face drooping. Does one side of their face droop, or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?Arm weakness. Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms.
Lastly, Hundal said to control existing medical conditions. This means checking cholesterol, controlling blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease, and taking prescribed medications.
