Signs that you may be having a stroke:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body<\/li>\n
  2. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding<\/li>\n
  3. Sudden trouble seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes<\/li>\n
  4. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination<\/li>\n
  5. Sudden severe headache with no known cause<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You should never wait more than five minutes to dial 9-1-1 if you experience even one of the signs above. Remember, you could be having a stroke even if you\u2019re not experiencing all of the symptoms. And remember to check the time. The responding emergency medical technician or ER nurse at the hospital will need to know when the first symptom occurred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
