not dismiss an abrupt, unusual headache, especially alongside other neurological symptoms.
Other conditions can cause similar symptoms, but you cannot safely distinguish them from a stroke at home. Seek emergency help immediately.
Remember B.E. F.A.S.T.
This simple reminder can help you recognize a possible stroke:
B — Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination.
E — Eyes: Sudden vision changes.
F — Face: Drooping or an uneven smile.
A — Arms: Weakness or one arm drifting downward.
S — Speech: Slurred
