What are the warning signs of a stroke?

The warning signs of a stroke are:

1. Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the face, body or limbs
2. Sudden confusion or difficulty speaking or understanding
3. Sudden loss of vision or blurred vision in one or both eyes
4. Sudden severe headache with no apparent cause
5. Sudden dizziness, unsteadiness or loss of balance

If you suspect someone is having a stroke, it's important to seek medical attention immediately.

Here are a few more things to keep in mind:

1. Strokes can occur at any age, but risk increases with age.
2. High blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and heart disease are major risk factors for stroke.
3. Quick action is crucial as the faster someone gets treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to occur.
4. Recognizing and responding to stroke warning signs can help save a life or reduce the long-term effects of stroke.
