FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time)

FAST is a quick way to recognize the signs of a stroke. It stands for: - **Face**: Check if one side of the face droops or feels numb. - **Arms**: Ask the person to raise both arms; if one arm drifts downward, it could indicate a stroke. - **Speech**: Listen for slurred or strange speech; the person may have trouble speaking clearly. - **Time**: If any of these signs are present, act quickly and call emergency services. Prompt treatment is crucial for the best outcome.
