🚨 Don’t Wait — Call 911 If You Have Stroke Symptoms! 🚨 If you experience sudden stroke symptoms — even if they go away quickly — call 911 immediately. These symptoms might be caused by a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often called a “mini-stroke.” But there’s nothing small about it — a TIA is a red flag that a major stroke could be coming soon. ⚠️ Common Stroke Symptoms (BE FAST): • Balance loss • Eye changes (blurred or double vision) • Face drooping • Arm weakness • Speech difficulty • Time to call 911 A TIA is your body’s warning shot. Studies show that 1 in 5 people who have a TIA will have a full stroke within 90 days, often within the first 48 hours. 👉 Time lost is brain lost. Don’t drive yourself. Don’t wait to see if it gets better. Call 911 immediately — paramedics can start life-saving treatment on the way to the hospital. 🎥 See Dr. Reid speak on stroke in the video for more insight into why acting fast can save a life — maybe your own. Your future self will thank you. 🧠❤️ #StrokeAwareness #call911 #BEFAST #1smallhospitalingeorgia #stephenscountyhospital (fb)
