 | Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven? |
 | Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? |
 | Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "The sky is blue." Is the sentence repeated correctly? |
 | Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms appeared. |
