Review the FAST acronym online.
If you are having symptoms of a stroke (one sided weakness, loss of sensation, visual or speech abnormalities), the best thing you can do is call 911 and get to a hospital quickly. Strokes are much like heart attacks where the faster you receive an intervention, the better your chances are for a positive outcome.

First aid for a stroke typically involves calling 911 or another emergency medical service. If you think that you or someone else is having a stroke, it's important to act quickly and get to a hospital as soon as possible. Every minute counts when it comes to strokes, so don't delay in getting help. Once you're at the hospital, the medical team will be able to assess your condition and provide the appropriate treatment. In some cases, this may include taking medication or undergoing surgery. Additionally, you may need to participate in rehabilitation therapy to help you recover from the effects of the stroke. By getting prompt medical care, you can reduce your risk of suffering serious complications from a stroke and improve your chances of making a full recovery.
