Morning Symptoms? Don't Ignore Stroke Warning Signs! Act FAST to Save Lives

• Stroke, or paralysis, is the second leading cause of death after heart attack, caused by interrupted blood flow to the brain.
• Two main types: Ischemic (blood clots) and Hemorrhagic (ruptured vessels); TIA is a mini-stroke warning sign.
• Watch for morning symptoms like sudden weakness/numbness on one side, facial drooping, slurred speech, or vision changes.
• The 'FAST' test (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) helps identify stroke symptoms quickly for immediate action.
• Timely medical intervention is crucial; every second counts to minimize brain damage and save lives.

Why It Matters: Recognize stroke symptoms early, especially in the morning, and seek immediate medical help to save lives.
