In the time it takes to sip your reheated coffee or share a selfie, someone in the United States is experiencing a stroke. In the United States, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death, but the third leading cause in Hawaii. Up to 80% of strokes are preventable, according to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. During National Stroke Awareness Month and throughout the year, know the symptoms of stroke and remember if you ever suspect you are having a stroke, call 911 immediately. (fb)
