The following signs may indicate a stroke, which occurs when blood vessels that supply the brain are blocked or are leaking. Similar to a heart attack, your chances of recovery greatly improve when you seek immediate care. Call 9-1-1 if you or a loved one experience:

• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
• Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
