Calling Your Health Care Provider
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if symptoms of stroke occur. A stroke is a "brain attack," and minutes can make a huge difference in disability and death rates.
Emergency symptoms include seizures or breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness, sudden difficulties with movement or sensation, eating or swallowing difficulties, sudden vision change or loss of vision in one or both eyes, rapid onset of speech changes, and sudden (severe) headache.
Call your health care provider if the condition of a family member with stroke deteriorates to the point that the person cannot be cared for at home.
