> What is a Stroke?

Dizziness, unsteadiness or an unusually severe headache

A change in mental abilities

Numbness, weakness or paralysis in face, arm or leg on one side of the body

Garbled speech or inability to speak

Eye problems—sudden dimness of vision in one eye or double vision

Receive immediate medical help, as these symptoms may disappear quickly, and there may be no second warning

REMEMBER

A Stroke is a medical emergency and by recognising the symptoms you could save a life ­ maybe even your own.
