In this episode of HealthSense, CoxHealth explores the warning signs of stroke, best remembered by the acronym FAST - facial weakness, arm weakness, speech problems, time to call 911. Quick diagnosis and treatment can stop a brain attack in progress or greatly minimize the effects. The longer you wait, the more extensive the damage to your brain will be. If given within three hours of the first symptom, there is an FDA-approved clot-buster medication that may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke. For more information or to find a physician, call 417/269-INFO or visit coxhealth.com.
