Each year over 900,000 people in the US will have a stroke. It is important to recognize the signs of a stroke and seek help quickly so that doctors can effectively treat them. It is best to be seen by an emergency room within 90 minutes of symptoms starting because some drugs cannot be used if you come too late. Signs of stroke follow the F.A.S.T. acronym which stands Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, and Time. If you or anyone else has these symptoms, remember to quickly get to the emergency room for the best possible treatments
