- Critical symptoms of stroke—including the subtle, surprising, and nontraditional ones, especially in women.

SNEAK PEEK!
If you spot someone showing signs of a stroke, keep these four common-sense steps in mind:
- Call 911. Rely on an ambulance, if possible, to get the person to a hospital. Paramedics and EMTs will transport the person to the best facility for stroke care while offering quick treatment to ward off the worst outcomes.
- See to the person’s well-being. Among the details provided in Your Stroke Action Plan: Make sure the person is free of physical danger like traffic, hard sunlight, or cold weather. Have them lie down on their side, head slightly titled, and talk to them, noting how responsive they are.
- Write down all details. Take note, while waiting for ambulance care, of stroke signs and exactly what time they happened.
- Gather what you can. Ask the person if they have a list of medications, an ID, and insurance card. Contact a family member, and if you can, accompany them to the hospital. The person having the stroke will greatly appreciate having someone by their side.
