What to do if you suspect a stroke

Thanks @Alex_Moderator

Very important.

As a personal experience:

I had a TIA then some ischemic strokes then a hemorrhagic stroke. I have lost 50% of my vision.

But I recognised that I was having a stroke event due to seeing FAST adverts and that probably saved my life.

I lost total feeling in my left side and could not get myself up level sitting on the sofa with my right arm and I’m quite strong I tried and then shouted to JP… He immediately called 999. But I didn’t have any slurred speech or much face stuff so it’s not ALL FAST it could be just one of those and the others listed above!!

Cheers @Alex_Moderator

@j.p.mac was amazing - recognised FAST symptoms too and so did my neighbours and I got to the hospital in a reasonable amount of time!! They acted fast (pun intended) and I am still alive and walking a bit and talking far far too much!
