Signs and symptoms of a Stroke
  • A numb or weak feeling in the face, arm or leg
  • Trouble speaking or understanding
  • Unexplained dizziness
  • Blurred or poor vision in one or both eyes
  • Loss of balance or an unexplained fall
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Headache (usually severe or of abrupt onset) or unexplained change in the pattern of headaches
  • Confusion
  • Unconsciousness.



The FAST test is aneasy way to recognise and remember the signs of stroke
If the person has a problem with any of these functions, dial triple zero (000) for an ambulance immediately.

FAST stands for:
  • Facial weakness – can the person smile; have their mouth or eyes drooped?
  • Arm weakness – can the person raise both arms?
  • Speech difficulty – can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
  • Time to act – act FAST and call 000 immediately.
If you suddenly experience any of these symptoms, get to a hospital immediately. Remember, stroke is a life-threatening emergency.
