From what is being said here, it appears that quite a significant amount of people don’t present FAST symptoms.
Therefore when will it be accepted and promoted that BEFAST will inform others that, although FAST is a good indicator, there are other signs of someone of having a stroke.
Surely the priority should be to catch every sign of a stroke as soon as possible not just those presenting FAST.
Also while we’re on this subject, why are so many young people who go to hospital with signs of having a stroke are told that they must be drunk or on drugs?
No one is too young to have a stroke, they should be treated with the same urgency as someone older.
The late diagnosis is devastating for all concerned and the young shouldn’t be dismissed as being drunk or on drugs!
