Signs and symptoms of stroke

The FAST test can help you to recognise some of the most common symptoms of stroke:

F is for Facial weakness

Can the person smile? Has their face fallen on one side?

A is for Arm weakness

Can the person raise both arms and keep them there?

S is for Speech difficulties

Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say? Is their speech slurred?

T is for Time to call 999

If a person fails any one of these tests, get help immediately by dialling 999.

A stroke is a medical emergency.

If you, or someone else, show any signs of having a stroke you need to seek immediate medical attention.
